CANNON STREET .

This was built at about the same period as neighbouring Artillery Street, early 19th century. It also took its name from the West Battery, and gave it to the Cannon Brewery. Until the 1920s, three small cottages were to be found at right angles to the street where the opening is shown on the left. It formed part of the Artillery Street slum clearance scheme and most of the houses seen were demolished in 1958. Brighton Corporation seems still to be undecided about the future of this area, which meantime remains in use as a car park. Date of photograph – June 1955.
