The Cricketers Pub, Brighton
Image: © Paul Gillett Taken: 1 Mar 2015
The oldest pub in Brighton located in Black Lion Street in the centre of Brighton Lanes. There has been a pub on this site since 1547 and the original landlord, one Derrick Carver, was burnt as a martyr for his religious beliefs. One of the most famous "guests" in the past has been "Jack the Ripper" - and in The Greene Room bar, (upstairs), you can spend some time following the story of his origins and how he planned his murders from this very spot. This is also the famous pub immortalised by Graham Greene in his classic novel "Brighton Rock" http://www.cricketersbrighton.co.uk/
