INSIDE LEFT: PRESTON STREET, 1920 ..................................................................................... This 1920 photograph tells us a lot about what was going on in Preston Street at the time: we’ve chosen it to fit in with our theme, ‘The Word’, as it demonstrates just how much information was written on the walls of the town in that era. For example, on the gable of the building in the left, we can see that Ingarfield the fishmonger, established 100 years before, was plying its trade at No. 72. We know that this establishment was then run by Edward John Ingarfield: before the widespread use of the refrigerator it also acted as an ice merchant, selling ice kept frozen in its cellar. The business at No. 73 was far more modern: Till’s Motor Cycle Garage, which had replaced Barnett’s Motor Garage, established in 1913. In the yard, catching the eye, is a rather snazzy open-top luxury car: we can’t identify the make, but we’re sure somebody out there can. We can see that the garage is now selling petrol from Shell; the sign for ‘Pratt’s’ refers to ‘Pratt’s Motor Spirit’, an earlier supplier. The site nowadays hosts Siam Siam Thai Restaurant. The outside walls are almost entirely used to advertise other businesses. On the left of the picture there are adverts for what’s on in the Court Picture Palace (aka Court Theatre) an upmarket cinema that had opened up in 1909 on New Road. To the right of the picture we can see that Julia Neilson, the then-famous actress (and great aunt to Sir John Gielgud, incidentally) was about to perform at the Theatre Royal (on Monday 29th November). In between, there’s an ad for Sang & Leonard, the ‘Auctioneer, House Land & Estate Agent’, on Western Road. This is a picture from James Gray’s collection, and in his caption he wonders whether the premises of the garages originally belonged to the houses in Regency Square, behind, or the Brighton New Club, next door, whose railing and classical pilaster you can see on the right. The latter option makes more sense: the New Club was established in 1876 as a private members’ club for ‘gentlemen and ladies of an improved social position’. The club was closed in 1938; the building was demolished to make way for the Art-Deco Astra House, with luxury apartments aimed at the London market. Since 2011 a company calling itself New Club - its owners obviously aware of Brighton’s history - have been running a burger and craft beer bar from the ground floor of the building.
