What WAS the Name of That Pub? - Brighton Edition

[Biffer]

I like this thread. What was the The Open House called before?
And can anyone tell us why the Horse and Groom on Islingword Road was known locally as The Severed Head?(It's a great story). It's now a community cafe bar called The Village full of Hanover yummy mummies (in the day at least).

Open House used to be The Springfield

Does anyone remember the Alliance in Edward Street? A cider house, run by a retired lady of the night, where you could get legless and still have change from five shillings.

This place sounds amazing. Pretty much perfect.

OK so round the back of AmEx (the offices not the stadium) there was a pub that has since been turned into housing, must have been in the past ten years or so, and I can't remember its name.

Would have been corner of John Street and Ashton Rise.

Can you NAME THAT PUB?

White Hart Lane. I hear it's a HOT spur spot.

What was the pub bottom of Middle street that for some reason had a late license? We always used to go there after the Revolution shut.

Just looked it up on Google Earth - Called the Churchill Palace Hotel and the bar is called the Las Vegas Bar - it's so far removed from that place.

Actually got any idea why it was a late license or did the landlord take the piss. We were always welcomed.

Bottom of Elm Grove on the corner with Islingword Road, what was the Cornerstone is now called the Admiral. Is this a case of a pub simply returning to its original name or was it something else pre Cornerstone?

Also, while we're in that area, further up the hill is the Reservoir but I can't believe that was its original name. Anyone know?

PG? I don't think so but not sure what those initials stand for.

A clue for you: It had a jukebox on the wall on the right hand side as you entered the pub.
