Hi All Does anyone know what kind of shop premises 126 Church Road, Hove is now please? My Gt. Grandfather had a butchers shop there in the 1890's and I was wondering what it is at the present time. Any info is much appreciated. Diana

I walked past the shop at 126 Church Road, Hove today and it's called Stanlee, sells handbags and luggage and the business was established in 1953. There is telephone number on the fascia: 01273 771510. There's a separate door numbered 126A, which appears to be for the flat upstairs. Maybe the present shop owners will know something of it's history? Pages Brighton directory for 1892 lists J P Hunter, Butcher at No 126. Is that your great grandfather? Pages also list J & E Butcher, Alderney Dairy, at 102 & 104 Church Road and E J Hunter, Dairyman at 43G Western Road, Hove. Possibly relatives? MikeS.

Sorry I meant J & E Hunter, Alderney Dairy but wrote J & E Butcher in error!
