Swifts.

That was the Edlin's pub with no name in West Street (nearer the Clocktower than the Standard, but the same side of the road).

The Edlin family owned a number of establishments in and around Brighton - hence the reminiscing about DtG's sandwiches. Among the places owned by Edlin's was the King and Queen.

I went to school with an Edlin. Apparently, it was a fella in the same family, and, although he never took the family trade on directly, he did go into catering, and for a while, until recently, in fact, owned an hotel - The White House - in Kemp Town.

Not sure what he's up to now.
