IMAGES TAKEN NEAR TO
Albion Street, BRIGHTON, BN2 9AJ

Built around 1815 and running from Richmond Street (now Richmond Parade) to Waterloo Street (now Phoenix Place). Near enough all of the street was demolished in the late 1950s as part of the large Albion Hill redevelopment with the exception of number 4-6 on the left, which can be seen in this 1956 image - http://regencysociety-jamesgray.com/volume27/source/jg_27_071.html. Next door is the former Stable Inn, which replaced the older Albion Inn which dated from the 1860s, which later became the Live Lounge but has closed in the last few years. Beyond was the Albion Brewery which closed in 1892 having been purchased by Tamplins who operated at the far end of the road. The buildings remained and were put to other uses until demolition in 1982, see http://regencysociety-jamesgray.com/volume27/source/jg_27_112.html , and were replaced by an Elim Church which has recently moved out and the building converted into residences.

A low rise block of flats that were built in the 1960s as part of the large scale redevelopment of the Albion Hill area which removed many former early 19th century slum properties. Grove bank was located on a former row houses that lined the eastern side of Richmond Buildings, another road eradicated in the clearances. Beyond is the high rise block Thorndale.

Head north along Albion Street then through a flat's courtyard car park and you arrive at this oasis in the midst of 1960s concrete redevelopment. This small row of cottages was constructed in 1826 and has managed to survive all redevelopment in the area. The small green gives them a rural feel despite them being in the centre of town.

Built in the 1960s on the site of houses on the eastern side of Albion Street and a small twitten behind containing Albion Cottages. The high rise behind is Thorndale.

Developed during the 1810s next to the road from Lewes now the A270. A couple of the original buildings have extended their frontages over the former gardens to make shops.

The obelisk originally had drinking troughs and fountains for animals and humans. They are still there, but inoperative. The structure, erected 1871, is grade II listed.

Located at the junction with Richmond Parade with St Peter's church beyond. Originally a pub called the Richmond which became a music venue and later changed its name to the Pressure Point. The latter closed in 2009 and has been converted into a backpackers hostel.

Part of the A23 one way system at the northern end of Valley Gardens on the eastern side of St Peter's church. The road was developed in the 1800s and continues eastwards as Lewes Road.

Head west down Richmond Parade then north along Albion Street. Another street that has been extensively redeveloped and as such has become largely anonymous. The dental and doctor's surgeries to the right occupy the site of the old Albion Brewery from which the street was named.
