A pub was here from at least the 1850s. Back then it was known as the Plumbers Arms. By the 1860s it had become the Lion and Unicorn, a name kept right up until it's final days as a pub.
The current building is not the original pub as this was rebuilt in the late 1920s by John Leopold Denman.
This former pub is on the corner of Guildford Street and Upper Gloucester Road
Landlord names include J. Measor from the 1870s, and T.N. Snelling and Henry Bridger during the 20s and 30s.

Work has now commenced on controversial plans to alter the traffic flow and accessibility of the area between St. Peter’s and Pool Valley.
Days are numbered for most of the buildings along Pelham Terrace, Lewes Road.
Demolition has started of the old Pink Coconut Night Club.
Built in 1933. Closed as a cinema in the late 1970s, it became a Bingo Hall. This closed in 1997.
A fantastic place to share your old Brighton pics and memories with other Brightonians.
