Possibly one of the most exclusive terraces in the city. All nine buildings are grade II listed and have had a variety of the great and good residing in them. Number 1 was owned by Sudeleys from 1836-76 and the Sassoons (See also Image) from 1876 to 1912, became the Court Royal Hotel in 1914 and was later converted into flats known today as Court Royal Mansions. Two 19th century MPs, Thomas Cave and James Ashbury resided at numbers 4 and 6 respectively, the latter put up Ulysses S Grant, ex Civil War general and American President, for three days in 1877. Number 9, which faces the photographer at the far end has been home to an ex-Home Secretary and deposed King of Portugal and was used as a convalescent home during the First World War. It later became a hotel, the Royal Sussex, then part of the Municipal Training College until the 1970s. It has returned to residential use though you would have needed £3 million to purchase it in 2004.

EASTERN TERRACE: This imposing terrace has nine large, four-storey, listed houses of about 1827-8, some of the finest in the town. Nos.1-2 and 9 have wide bow fronts, while no.8 has a concave facade. Most have Doric porches, and nos.5-7 have unstuccoed first floors faced in yellow brick. No.1 was occupied from 1836 until 1858 by the first Lord Sudeley, and then by Sir Albert Sassoon in 1876-96; the Bombay Bar in St George's Road, behind the house was constructed as his private mausoleum. The house became the Court Royal Hotel in 1914, and was converted into Court Royal Mansions in the early 1950s. No.2 was the home of the famous journalist George Augustus Sala in the 1890s, while no.9 was occupied for some time by King Manoel II of Portugal during his exile; it later became the Royal Sussex Hotel and then part of the MunicipalTrainingCollege until the 1970s http://www.mybrightonandhove.org.uk/page_id__8277.aspx
