REGENT ROW

Although this photograph is of Regent Row, the chimney of the North Street Brewery dominates it. Whether this was just being built or extended I cannot say, but as this photograph is not as old as it looks. I find it hard to believe it was being built for the first time. In fact this was taken between 1895 and 1900, when that part of the Brewery, now a Motor Showroom in Dyke Road, was built. In 1906, the old established North Street brewery was taken over by Smithers and Sons who later acquired the Portslade Brewery. As a result, brewing actually ceased at North Street in November 1920.
