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.
The earliest mention I could find in the street directories was in 1862.
Originally numbered as 144 Elm Grove, this changed in c.1884 when the houses in Elm Grove were renumbered probably due to new buildings being erected.
The earliest record of the Flying Dutchman I could find was in 1854 when it was run by D. Sayers.
Listed in the directories from at least 1852. At that time ran by William Marchant.
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.
