Estate agents on the corner of Lansdowne Place and Western Road. The building to the left is Palmeira House a block of flats that also has a Tesco Express on the ground floor.

At the Western end of Brighton & Hove's main shopping street

Originally a department store, Hills of Hove, which was founded by William Hill at number 58 in 1839 and gradually extended eastwards over the rest of the 19th century. The individual shopfronts were merged and extensively rebuilt in 1921 and the premises continued as a department store until its closure in 1982. Since then the ground floor has been subdivided into individual units including Starbucks and Sainsbury's whilst the upper floors have been converted into flats. See http://www.photosbrightonandhove.org.uk/hills-of-hove-shortly-before-closure.html for an image taken in 1982 before closure.

Originally known as the Wick Inn, then Nan Tucks Tavern now known as the Biscuit Factory I think this is because a small Lyons bakery used to be nearby. The inn is on the south east corner of the Holland Road/B2066 crossroads.

At the junction with Holland Road. The building was originally a large furniture store and later an antiques shop before becoming a Tesco Express which occupies the ground floor. The rest of the building is a mixture offices and flats.

Built as part of the Brunswick development between 1824-29. Brunswick Place is the northward extension of Brunswick Square and the houses here were originally intended for the not quite so well off who couldn't afford the apartments by the sea. These days many are subdivided into flats and bedsits. Looking across Western Road, the B2066.

Dated 1873, the present public house is a rebuilding of an earlier thatched building on the site. It is located at the junction of Western Road and Holland Road. It is Grade II Listed.
