Richmond Gardens, BRIGHTON, BN2 9PF

A side street off Waterloo Place originally known as Waterloo Street that was later named after the former brewery that stood to the north from 1820 until its closure in 1991. The street in view beyond is Albion Hill and the high rise block is Thorndale.

Head north along Albion then west then north along Phoenix Place until the road junction in front off the red bricked building has been reached. The building is the former offices of the Phoenix Brewery that operated on this site from 1821 when Tamplins moved from its former premises in Southwick after they burnt down (hence the name Phoenix) and was constructed in 1893. The green building is the Free Butts public house owned by the brewery and a popular local music venue. Tamplins was taken over by Watneys in 1953 who continued brewing from the site until 1973 when it was downgraded to a bottling plant. This finally ceased operating in 1991 and all that remains of the original brewery are the two buildings and the brick street.

A community arts studio run as a charitable trust located at the junction of St Peter's Place and Waterloo Place that is currently undergoing renovation. The scaffolding seems to be covered by either works of art or adverts which change regularly. Originally part of the technical college but it hasn't been an educational establishment for some years.

Passing St Peter's church The Big Lemon is a Community Interest Company founded in 2007, The company runs Public Bus Services, Bus & Coach Hire, a Festival Coach Service and a Waste Cooking Oil Collection Service.

Closed put on Phoenix Place.

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.

Originally the brewery tap for neighbouring Phoenix Brewery which continued as a popular local live music venue until noise complaints forced its closure in 2010. Five years on the pub remains empty, a very sad sight.

Those on the right have done just over a mile more than those on the left.

Originally known as Waterloo Street but named after the former brewery which occupied the site to the immediate north, see Image The brewery ceased production in 1973 but remained in use as a bottling plant until 1991 when it closed for good. All buildings were pulled down with the exception of the former brewery tap, see Image, the building on the left, former offices erected in 1893 and now used as the Phoenix Community Centre and the brick setts in the road. Wellesley House is beyond built in 1970 on a former Regency Terrace and part of the University of Brighton.
