The following 220 pubs were listed in an 1859 trade directory. 77 are still open, the rest closed. Many have been demolished though a fair few buildings have been converted to other uses and still stand. Many name changes have occurred.
The area covers the old parish of Brighton which ran in a line from the Peace Statue to Dyke Road then up that road to Old Shoreham Road turned east down the hill along New England Road and Viaduct Road then up Ditchling Road to Florence Place then east again through the council depot along Hollingdean Road and Bear Road then turned south around the western edge of Whitehawk Bottom in a line to the sea. Nothing is included from outside these boundaries. Included are original names of roads and in some cases numbering.
How many do you recognise and how many do you remember?
