The central section, in its early stages of reconstruction. The frontage of the Ocean Insurance Company’s building at No.20 has been set back, and Nos.21-24 demolished. The forecourt of St Pauls Church and adjoining property to the south has yet to be dealt with. Note the narrowness of the street.
Between the Church and the derelict tobacconist’s shop can be seen the narrow entrance to Chuters Gardens, yet another of the many courts which early Brighton builders delighted to conceal behind main thoroughfares. Here two tiny cottages were crowded into a very small space.
