Before King's Road was built, this pub stood on the cliff edge. Originally known as the Ship-in-Distress. In 1822 it was renamed the Sea House.
Finally demolished in the early 1990s.
In existence here from at least 1869, the pub had closed by the mid 1930s.
The earliest record of the Flying Dutchman I could find was in 1854 when it was run by D. Sayers.
The earliest record I could find for this pub, then known as the Eastern Tavern was 1848. Reed Ockenden was the landlord.
The earliest mention I could find in the street directories was in 1862.
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.
