By 1885 it was known as the Race Horse Inn.
1908 the pub was listed as Ye Race Horse Inn and run by the Woolven family. They had the pub up until the sometime during the Second World War.
After the war George Bimson was the landlord here and he ran the pub until the early 1970s.
Recently the pub has been converted into student housing along with many other pubs in the area.
On the corner of Milton Road. The earliest record of the Elm Grove Tavern I could find was in 1854.
A selection of my photographs available mounted from just £10 each.
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.

My Gt. Grandfather and Grandmother, Robert William and Minnie Oliver, were the publicans of The Racehorse Inn during the late 1920s to mid 1930s when they retired to live in St Leonards Road/Avenue, Brighton.
