Currently home to Luigi's the tailor who have been trading on the street for over 40 years. They moved here from neighbouring Image in the mid 1980s when another longstay of the street, HE Bolton, finally closed. Bolton's egg business began back in 1887 in Hove moving into 47 in 1910 then across the road to this shop in 1917. Other than a long stint as a greengrocers in the 19th century and a decade as a toy shop in the early 20th century the other businesses have not stayed for long.
