Phoenix Rise, BRIGHTON, BN2 9WR

Built in the early 2000s on the site of the former Phoenix Brewery that had opened by Tamplins in 1821 after a fire had destroyed a former brewery in Southwick. Tamplins gradually became the premier brewery in Brighton absorbing other former concerns until they too were taken over by Watney in 1969. It brewed its last beer in 1973 but the premises remained in use as a bottling plant until that too closed in 1991. The buildings were cleared during the 1990s and have now the site contains housing and student accommodation. One of the flats on the right still contain the old Phoenix logo.

Head east past the Free Butt then turn north into what was the former brewery and this is one of two streets redeveloped on the former Phoenix site. Click on the link to take you to the next page. http://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/231589

A cul de sac off Phoenix Place that was developed in the 1990s mainly in the former gardens of the houses on the left which front onto Lewes Road but also on the former premises of Phoenix Brewery which closed in 1991.

A residential street that runs between Albion Hill and Southover Street that was originally developed in the early 1850s but was completely cleared in the early 1960s with the western side on the left initially replaced by an extension to Tamplins Phoenix Brewery. Despite closing in 1973 the site was still used as a depot by owners Watney Mann until 1991 when that too was closed and housing was built in its place. See http://regencysociety-jamesgray.com/volume27/source/jg_27_004.html for the same view in 1960.

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.

Viewed from the Lewes Road on the east side of the level, the early morning sunshine brings out the summer colours

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.

Closed put on Phoenix Place.
