FOWLER’S CORNER.
The well-known landmark shortly before its demolition in 1929. Famed to generations of Brightonians for its black treacle, the shop really formed part of North Street, but was always regarded as an integral part of old Western road. It had stood looking down the slope of North Street for upwards of 60 years, and with its passing one felt that the days of the old road were numbered. Since rebuilding, I have never heard it referred to as “Barrington’s Corner”!
Note the very acute turn into the narrow Western Road. Also the North Street entrance to Imperial Arcade.
