MIDDLE STREET

A photograph of 8-12 Middle Street, period unknown, but probably between 1912 and 1919. On the extreme left is the Concert Hall, then used as a Picture Palace, but opened as Sherry’s Dance Hall late in 1919. The passageway led to Nos. 10 and 11, which were hidden from the street. Here for many years was the Mineral Water manufactory of Henry Schilling, but at the same time of this photograph the buildings were occupied by the Brighton and Hove General Gas Company. Later they took over No. 12, previously occupied by Barnards, the blind makers and then, in 1930, all these old houses were demolished and replaced by the present building.
