BLACK LION STREET

A comparatively recent photograph of the scene in this street following the demolition of the famous Black Lion Brewery, which had occupied the site for more than four centuries. Probably taken in 1973/4. Immediately to the left of the Agent’s hoarding can be seen the commemorative plaque let into the flint and stonework. Brighton Corporation provided this and it was unveiled on 22 July 1926, exactly 371 years, to the very day, after Carver’s death.
