Was there a pub in Brighton station once upon a time?

[Albumen]

My memory says yes but I'm wondering if its playing tricks in me. Next to (now) M&S?

Any pics would be great.

 

[turienzo's lovechild]

i'm sure i remember some sort of bar

 

[Goring Gull]

There was where M+S is can't remember the name though

 

[Official Old Man]

Not been in the station for years but as you go in there was something on the left hand side.

 

[BadFish]

Yeah my a couple of my mates you to work there, I spent far too much time in their than I should have. Don't remember hat is as called though.

 

[Blue Valkyrie]

Yes, there was a grotty pub where M&S now is.

Had a TV with a ceefax type listing of train departures on it.

It was by Platform 1. quite small, but a handy place to drop in while waiting for a train. Probably shut about ten years ago?

Use to pop in there quite often. Small and cosy.

Bonapartes?

 

[Postman Pat]

Bonapartes?

Great shout!!

Wikipedia seem to agree with you:Marks & Spencer occupy the western side of the concourse, having opened early in the first decade of the 21st century. The M&S site had previously been occupied by fast food concessions and a bar. (From May 2008 to October 2008 M&S expanded into Bonaparte's bar area.)

Good grief, it hasn't been closed 10 years has it? Doesn't seem that long ago, life rushing by

 

[The Wookiee]

In its later years, am pretty sure it tried to smarten its self up by having a fenced off outside area with tables and chairs, prior to this it was a small dodgy looking place very uninviting

It was run by Travellers Fare in the 80's, absolute shit hole

we used to use one on the left hand side in the 60's (west) and that was a shit hole then

I met a girl in there once, it must have been around 1971. She was from Patcham, you know the sort.
