James Gray: [Everton Place].A prosaic little cul-de-sac of six red brick houses which led from the west side of Western Street, just below Golden Lane. Despite its abutment to the rear of the Anchor Brewery premises in Waterloo Street, it formed a quiet oasis between the busy Western and Kings Roads. Built about the middle of last century, the houses were demolished in 1937, and the cleared site acquired by the brewery for their vehicles. jgc_29_001 and jgc_29-002
James Gray: This seems likely to become another of Brighton’s problem areas. On 5 April 1981, I had these photographs taken, thinking that comprehensive redevelopment of this rather shabby area was likely to take place before long. I was mistaken. Known as the Golden Lane project, plans were agreed by the Planning Officers of Brighton and Hove (at the rear, buildings go through to Waterloo Street, Hove) but recession intervened.

2018: The Golden Lane site, which was boarded up after the demolition of the Anchor Brewery, is now a cobbled, gated private housing development.
