The Sidewinder

As we head back towards the centre of town we come to the Sidewinder pub. Just how the mural links in is something I have yet to work out.

Kemp Town Pier

Down towards the sea and running parallel to Eastern Road is St George's Road and this is where we find the community centre known as the Kemp Town Pier. This was built in 1912 as the church hall for St Anne's church, which has since been demolished. The Pier is - or was - also th John Nixon Memorial. I'm not entirely sure it is still used as a community centre; it looks more like shops and flats.

Kemp Town goods yard

Just after Edward Street has become Eastern Road we reach what was at one time the Kemp Town railway station and goods yard. The station and goods yard are long since closed and turned into an industrial estate but the building on the south-west corner retains this reminder of the past.

Bingo, anyone?

Edward Street

The court building is now in Edward Street, a nondescript road that lost its character when the buildings on one side were demolished to make way for the courts, the American Express European headquarters and so on. The south side still has a few speciality shops like this among all the lawyers officers.

County Court

Further down Church Street we have the old county court building. The only indication of its previous purpose is the archway on the left which seems to lead nowhere.

Ancient and modern

From the 21st century on the left where the Jubilee Street redevelopment can be seen to the early 19th century Dome and Corn exchange. This is a view down Church Street from just below Bond Street.

Bond Street BOGOF

Just along from yesterday's mermaid but this time in Bond Street itself. I'm almost sorry that I can't see the painting underneath the dogs.
