The B2118 looking towards the crossroads with Paston Place. The brick building on the right is the rear to Seymour Square built in 1970 on the site of the former Kemp Town Brewery. Beyond it is the Bombay Bar built in 1892 as a mausoleum for Sir Albert Sassoon who was buried there in 1896 along with his son in 1912. His family sold the building in 1933 and removed the bodies for reburial in London. During the war it was used as an air raid shelter before becoming part of the Hanbury Arms pub next door, later on being a small concert and club venue known as the Hanbury Ballroom. Today it is an Indian restaurant.
