Thigs in Brighton that are no longer there/changed names

[Bluejuice]

Don't forget the chain pier!

Oh and that lovely crepe restaurant called Cripes. Used to love that place

 

[London Calling]

Baths under the station, the wooden phone booths at the station, the engineering works at the station.

The 2 pubs opposite the Lord Nelson.

Is the Basement still going?

and Me I am not there!

The Frock and Jacket, now Cafe Rouge. Always used to drink/score there before going to The Zap.
Happy days.

 

[Parson Henry]

The Hungry Years Rock Disco

God one of those waitresses (when it just opened) gave me such a turn on - one night.

 

[Pevenseagull]

The Athina B

remember seeing it when I was a kid, cool

 

[Barrel of Fun]

Pirates Deep!

What a place. I seemed to be there most weekends for about a year.

Original Hove Town Hall.

Ah things in Brighton!

 

[Theatre of Trees]

Stairs leading from the station to Trafalgar Street, the remainder leading to the old gents loos are now closed too. It also used to contain a barbers.

The Spirit of Brighton statue in Churchill Square.

The old church in Queens Square now a faceless bank building.

The southern entrance of Market Street now the Thistle Hotel.

 

[Easy 10]

The old twin-chimneyed power station at Southwick. I went along and watched the 2nd chimney get blown up early one Sunday morninig a few years back. Spectacular.

 

[Yorkie]

Black Rock paddling pool.
Peter Pans playground.

 

[Pevenseagull]

The Quadrant

Those were good - and for commuting North Laine residents (like I used to be) they must have been useful too. Shame tramps used to shit everywhere. Those Victorian mosaics are presumably all still in tact - that space would make a nice, if not altogether hygenic, bar.

LOCAL people.

 

[Pevenseagull]

The Green Dragon

 

[coventrygull]

The Alhambra pub

 

[Bakesy]

Uncle Sams in West Street

 

[Scarface]

Grinders on Kensington Gardens. Used to be a wicked little cafe but was taken over and turned into the Bamboo Bar and then The Fringe Bar or summat.

The Fringe Bar is great, ceiling covered with those old news sheets outside newsagents and the mens toilet walls covered in comic books! You can also get a hookah pipe in there for about a fiver. Great in the summer out on the balcony, closed for the winter though

I'm sure both those were originally part of the Grinders decor. I haven't been in there since it changed.

Last time I looked those mosiacs were there, the area is used for storage at the moment.

 

[Rangdo]

The Berlin Bar which then became Bar Centro which I think now is some poncy restaurant.
