Recognise this?. Painted by Frederick Nash

I assume this is the pub by portslade town hall.

Painted between 1834 and 1876

Think it is in the Tate, but can’t be sure.

Good paintings take a while.

I'm glad you posted that as I always remember the town hall in Victoria Road.

I wonder if it is the Schooner on the coast road in Fishersgate?

My immediate first thought, hasn't changed all that much - although I wouldn't have put it in Fishersgate myself.

 

[Dave the OAP]

Yes fishersgate was my first thought and a view over lady bee marina.

Btw. I couldn’t find out the exact date it was painted and so put the period he lived in Brighton.

He has a marvellous catalogue!

That's the Gather Inn formerly called the Adur.

OP is definitely the Schooner in Southwick.

OK !

Southwick Town Hall was a few doors along from the Schooner - on the corner. I think OP meant 'Southwick TH, rather than Portslade TH'.

This was the old centre of Southwick.

 

[Harry Wilson's tackle]

What a dump. Saved only by the street name
