St James's Street, Brighton, and its Environs: A walk through its history from 1800-1900, by Edwin P. Miller, published 1 October 2011 (300 pp., Pomegranate Press, ISBN-10: 1907242236 & ISBN-13: 9781907242236) accessible at: West Sussex Libraries
Abstract:This is the first ever exploration of the commercial and cultural life of this busy Brighton street. Richly illustrated with photographs, maps, old advertisements and extracts from newspapers, it plots a steady course from No. 1A ('Family mourners' back in 1846) to No. 130 (which has variously housed grocers, outfitters, an employment agency, a brace of banks and, today, a charity shop).
It's an essental guide not only for local residents and businesses, but for anyone fascinated by hitherto unsung areas of Brighton's history.
