IMAGES TAKEN NEAR TO
Little Western Street, HOVE, BN3 1AG

The pub is known as a people's pub with its profits being distributed to local community organisations http://www.peoplespubs.com/

The pub has had a makeover recently changing colour from a garish pink to this now bright blue. It is located on the old boundary between Brighton and Hove with Cross Street beyond in the latter.

Taken from the former boundary of Brighton and Hove looking into the latter.

Head eastwards from Boundary Passage's southern entrance and you come to Norfolk Square constructed in the 1820s on the site of an old brickfield called Blacklands. This small square is bounded on its northern side by Western Road, the main shopping street that runs from Churchill Square, Brighton to Palmeira Square in Hove. The square itself has a reputation for seediness being a popular hangout for drunks and vagrants. Click link to go the next page. http://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/211443

Small side street that links Norfolk Square to Little Western Street. The pub is the Robin Hood a local community run hostelry that donates any profits after running costs have been deducted to local charities. Beyond the junction with Little Western Street , which marks the boundary between Brighton and Hove, is Image

A small courtyard with entrances from Cross Street and Western Road via a covered passageway. The construction in the centre is for bins with small cottages to the west and three storey buildings to the right.

This is the view from Cross Street with the passageway to Western Road centre left.

Small courtyard with a main entrance off Cross Street and passage linking from Western Road. The latter was recently part of a legal battle between the owners of a restaurant on the left and the residents in the street when the former decided to extend their premises onto the path without planning permission. The consequence was that the passage has been under scaffolding for the last few years as the extension was built then stopped for the court case, then demolished as the restaurant owner lost the case. The tiles on the ground denote where the passage was relaid. The flowers in the courtyard are tended to by the residents.

Linking Waterloo Street to Little Western Street.

One of the few courtyards of the 19th century that have survived today. Entrance is via a junction in Cross Street or a covered alley onto Western Road which is just visible beyond the covered bin area. As can be seen local residents make an effort to decorate the yard though they are currently trying to gate the northern entrance to avoid drunk ne'er do wells from entering and peeing everywhere plus other even less salubrious activities.
