Is it on the site of Churchill Square?
Yes it is.
It's Russell Street that was totally obliterated by Churchill Square. Visible in the picture is the old Central Meat Market which was housed in the old Church of the Resurrection until the late 50's.
(sorry for the delay in answering - had to pop down to Newhaven)
Photo taken sometime before 1958. Interesting features are in this photograph, the west wall of the Alhambra Theatre (Palladium Cinema) just visible, the Cannon Brewery with the chimney and beyond that up the hill a part of the Church of the Resurrection, used for the last of its life as the Central Meat Market. This quite old Brighton street has now been completely obliterated.

Right first time.
The lamppost and (tragically) the house directly behind it and to the right of it have since been demolished. They were replaced initially by Telephone House, then by TSB. All the other buildings are all still there.

On the subject of the bombings of Brighton during the war, okay this thread started quite a while ago! My mother as a young girl was actually in the cinema, just around the corner from the bottom of North Road, Gloucester Place, I believe, when the Germans bombed one saturday morning. Her mother, along with many other mums were shopping in the Open Market area, when they were told the bomb had hit the cinema. Of course they all legged it back to the scene, to discover the church next door had been hit and not the cinema. The cinema I seem to recall became a bingo hall in later years, a place from which we use to pick up and/or drop off my nan in the mid 70s.
Somewhere near St James Street I'd say. Is it High Street?
