IMAGES TAKEN NEAR TO
North Street, BRIGHTON, BN1 1EZ

Located on the corner of North Street and New Road and part of a terrace that was built in the early 19th century and includes Image and numbers one to seven new Road. It too had a colonnade fitted to its exterior in 1823 but was removed between 1919-29. For thirty years from 1822 it was a musical library then a shoemaker for another thirty and a draper with the splendid name of Homer Herring for another twenty two. In 1913 it became Clarks bakery. One hundred and sixty one A is to the west of the corner block and became a separate entity in 1900 spending most of the inter war years as a tobacconist and over twenty years as a ladies wear shop. Both numbers were combined from 1980 onwards as a pair of sheepskin retailers. Since the beginning of the 21st century after extensive restoration it has been a couple of restaurants.

Viewed from southern end in North St New Road has recently become a shared space, pavements have been removed and pedestrians are able to stroll along the road which also has a variety of restaurants with al fresco eating arrangements, however the original decision to bar cars was overturned and has created controversy particularly for guide dog owners relying on pavements and without the benefit of eye contact with drivers

Looking down the covered walkway on the western side of New Road. The first colonnade was originally built in front of the Theatre Royal but was extended southwards in 1823 to the end of the road as well as continuing around the corner in North Street. Much of the extension was removed in the 1920s leaving just a small section between numbers 6 and 12 of the original remaining.
