Old houses which formerly stood to the south of the Chapel Royal, photographed shortly before their removal in the same year. The corner houses were probably older than the Chapel, built in 1794, and were originally private houses. A house of similar design on the opposite side of Princes Place, was there until 1930. The houses were purchased by Brighton Corporation for street widening. The two nearest New Road fetched £7920 and the three others, £4700, large sums when one considers the value of money in 1875!
Note the original façade of the Chapel Royal with the colonnade, which at one period ran around the full length of Princes Place.
