Located on the corner of Upper Gloucester Road and currently used as a day centre. The original building, see http://regencysociety-jamesgray.com/volume31/source/jg_31_024.html for a 1976 view, was opened as Brighton Grammar School in the 1860s and remained as such until 1914 when it was requisitioned as a military hospital. One of its better known alumni was the artist Aubrey Beardsley who lived down the road at what is now number 31. After the war the building was converted into a maternity hospital that opened in 1922 and closed in 1970 after which it became a day centre. The current building dates from the 1970s.
