Summary[edit]
| Description |
English: Argos, Western Road. At the bottom of Victoria Street turn east along Upper North Street then south down Spring Street until you Western Road again. Originally the road was a track that connected Brighton to Hove church and the road gradually began to be developed from the 1830s as the new terraces and squares by the sea extended westwards. By the 1860s it had become a major shopping street servicing the great, good and not so good in their day to day urban life. By the early part of the twentieth century the road had become clogged with the traffic and was subsequently widened piecemeal between 1926-36. The demolition took place on the northern side and it is here that the reproductions of Selfridges in London along with art deco designs occurred. This building was constructed in the 1930s for Staffords and in the last 20 years has been home to Fads, Virgin Megastore and since 1998 Argos who originally occupied just the west wing of the building.
