The old Fleet Street in Brighton ran north/south from Ann Street to Cheapside, parallel to, and to the west of, Belmont Street. I think that it is now part of new England Street. Certainly, all the old houses in Fleet Street have long been demolished., and replaced by a row of modern houses. However, the name has now been revived, and is part of the new Brighton Station development. I think that the new Fleet Street is quite close to the old one, and now comprises of new flats. I don't think that any of the on-line maps show this new development yet. Sorry to disappoint you. If it still existed, I could have photographed it tomorrow, as I will be in that part of Brighton.

Hi Mark, This will give you some idea of what is happening there now http://www.mybrightonandhove.org.uk/page_id__7977_path__0p223p.aspx There is lots of other info on this site although I have not yet been able to find anything specifically about Fleet Street. If you search for the station you will find a number of photos etc. I have a map from late 1800's which I will try to scan and send to you - Fleet Street is right at the top. hth, Anne > From: jerry.white@btinternet.com> To: SUSSEX-plus@rootsweb.com> Date: Sun, 16 Dec 2007 02:42:39 +0000> Subject: Re: [SXP] 5 FLEET STREET BRIGHTON> > The old Fleet Street in Brighton ran north/south from Ann Street to> Cheapside, parallel to, and to the west of, Belmont Street.
