Not Station Road?

Interesting that the sailor/pirate figure outside the Rose & Crown is without the bow of the boat beneath his feet. Recently the boat which was there for many years has been removed and the same brackets seem to be in evidence.

Photo of the building though obviously no longer a pub taken in the 1970s. https://www.mybrightonandhove.org.uk/places/placestree/london-road/my-gran-watching-the-world-go-by

It must have been there after Charrington's bought out Kemp Town Brewery as there seems to be Toby Jug stickers on the windows and doors?

Interesting that the houses in the Edwardian? photo don't seem to have been compelled to paint the exteriors cream.

With regard to the Steine Street photo, I can vaguely remember going with my parents to the Southdown Garage to catch a coach to London (I think). In those days Pool Valley would have been too full of buses to be used as a coach station.

I wonder if the older photo was taken during or just after WW2. The images are not very sharp but some of the people on the right of the picture seem to be in uniform. I don't remember Brighton at this period but in Worthing there were huge adverts asking people to salvage items (what today we...

What was called the Brighton "A" Power Station after the more recent "B" Power Station was built in the 1950s and on whose site is the present Power Station. Beyond the Power Station in the photo it is just possible to see the Gas Works. All three plants existed in my younger days. I don't...
