BUCKINGHAM ROAD

The building seen in these three photographs was erected in the late 1860’s, and occupied by Brighton Grammar School from May 1866. Here, the school remained, with a slight break until 1920, when it returned to its present premises, requisitioned as a Military Hospital during the War. After internal alterations it reopened as the Brighton and Hove Hospital for Women and Children (later the Maternity hospital) in 1922, and remained as such until 1970. Since then it had been used as a care unit for the mentally handicapped. Photographed 3 June 1976. Demolished – September 1976.
