At the time of this photograph the Church was four years old. It had been built in 1868.
The small wooden structure was a toll-house for the payment of coal dues. At this period a duty was levied on every chaldron of coal entering Brighton, for the upkeep of the groynes. This continued until 1888, when this toll house and a similar one on the front opposite Western Street, were removed.
As can be seen, the house adjoining the Church, 19 Norfolk Terrace was just being occupied. Building of this short terrace, 19 in all, occupied 8 years, from 1864 until 1872.
