James Gray: At the time of this photograph the Church was four years old. It had been built in 1868. The small wooden structure was a toll-house for the payment of coal dues. At this period a duty was levied on every chaldron of coal entering Brighton, for the upkeep of the groynes. This continued until 1888, when this toll house and a similar one on the front opposite Western Street were removed. As can be seen, the house adjoining the Church, 19 Norfolk Terrace, was just being occupied. Building of this short terrace, 19 in all, occupied 8 years, from 1864 until 1872. jgc_26_186
James Gray: Erected 1868. Demolished in 1965. Compare this photograph with that on the previous page [jgc_26_186] which was taken nearly 100 years before. Date of photographs: 6 September 1964. jgc_26_187 and jgc_26_188
2021: The church was the Emmanuel Reformed Epicospal Church within the Diocese of Chichester. After it was demolished in 1965 a Baptist Tabernacle church was built in its place. This was demolished in January 2018 and has now been replaced by houses and flats.The modern picture shows the site shortly after demolition. (Photographer: Tony Bailey)

James Gray: During the early 1970s, the western end of Brunswick Terrace and the houses of Lansdowne Place around the corner began to show signs of neglect and dilapidation, as can be seen in the view in this photograph. This spread rapidly to many adjoining houses, and at one time it was feared that some were doomed. Fortunately repairs were put in hand in time to avert this, but even now (1984) repair work is continuing. Additional Information: Moreland Hotel. jgc_11_205
