Researching this shop has been a veritable mystery. The current incumbents, the Offbeat Cafe, have been running their revival of a 1960s milk bar for the past decade, prior to that I have a huge blank back to 1974 where the shop had been trading as one of the many butchers on Sydney Street for the previous sixty years. In between, other than a mention from 1990 that Brighton Plastics now included 37 along with Image and Image there has been nothing. My suggestion is that the expansion possibly occurred during the late 1970s/early 1990s though I have no evidence yet to back this up. OCCUPANTS 1912-74: BUTCHER: RB Lane (1912-21), Lane & Son (1921-36), Kitchingham (1937-54), F Moules (1956-66), Sussex Farms (1968-74) 1990-95: PLASTIC PRODUCTS: Brighton Plastics 2001-11: CAFE: The Offbeat Cafe
