[London Calling]

The Lion Brewery and the Watney Mann brewery of the Steine.

And all that nice flint housing that was along North Street.

My dad also recalls a classic church along North Street, I think it is now where Alliance and Leiceter now stands.

It was just about to get Governmnet Protection Listing or an Protection Order, the developer moved in over the weekend and destroyed it.

I believe it became a test case for serving protection notices on buildings.

He also reckoned there was a great Hotel on the sea front (not the Grand) the Norfolk? Used in Brighton Rock that was totally palatial. It was mysteriously destroyed by a fire?

Bit of a common theme in Brighton.

The Cottage (coffee bar) in Middle Street.
The Big Apple.
J. Lyon & Co cafe in North Street
The Curzon and Embassy cinemas in Western Road, and there used to be a cinema in North Street but I've forgotten its name. But it was the first non-smoker.

I worked at the Curzon in western road (called the Classic cinema)

I also worked in the 'Vogue' cinema in Lewes Road.

The Cinema in North Street was called the Brighton Film Theatre, then 'Cinescene'

The Cottage-very good shout Up that spiral staircase after certain non-medicinal substances had been consumed for 3 hours of Purple Haze and Steppenwolf

Big Apple-same as The Cottage except to big name bands instead of a jukebox

And what were the names of those 2 clubs on Montpelior just above Western Rd?

 

[Bwian]

Almost forgot 'The Fox' up from the taxi rank opposite Churchill Square (recently an ice rink?)...saw a couple of bands there who weren't quite big enough for Big Apple.
