The City of Hereford was situated where that area of green is, so there was really no need to have demolished it, it could have been saved - there was plenty of room. As for pubs having their names changed - there should be a law against it. Geoff Wells,

Geoff , I entirely agree and The City of Hereford would have made an excellent community pub for the inhabitents of the ugly flats that were put up along that side of the road. Too many solidly built, and popular, Brighton pubs have been lost to ham fisted redevelopments like this to say nothing of the many corner locals that have been gentrified with a new name and turned into expensive "theme pubs", bistros or wine bars. I am dismayed every time I am back in Brighton and increasingly hard put to find a decent local with a good pint.
