A presbytery and school were added the following year but the school was refused recognition on several occasions until finally allowed in 1956. Meanwhile it was used as a community hall and in 1914 as a shelter for Flemish and Jewish refugees from the Low Countries¹. The church was closed and demolished in 1992. 80 was formerly Portlade Fire Station [right], as indicated in terracotta over the fire engine door. Built in 1909. St Andrew's Church was designed by Brighton architect Edmund Scott for Rev F G Holbrooke, the Vicar of Portslade, to serve the Copperas Gap community at a cost of £1,541. It opened in 1864.

Part of the church was converted into a community centre for South Portslade, which opened on 18 June 2004. Most of the churchyard has been built over as part of the car park for Tesco and as a football pitch for St Andrew's CofE Primary School in Belfast Street. St Mary's Convent of the Sisters of Poor Servants was built as a manor house on a six-acre site in 1807. The lordship of the manor of Portslade was bought on 12 February 1904 by Miss Kathleen Concepta Nelson (d1947) on behalf of the Poor Servants of the Mother of God, a Catholic order of nuns from St Mary's Convent at Roehampton, of which she had been a postulant and is buried in the private cemetery here. The sisters created a convent and convent school for young girls and added a laundry in 1911 to add work for the girls in addition to farm labouring. The manor house was sold the Emmaus charity in March 1997².	Pa1890— ¹ESRO amsh/AMS5600/1 ²ESRO DB/D/27/283

North Gate and the gatehouse of the Royal Pavilion estate were originally built c1774 and reworked in 1832 by Joseph Good for William IV, possibly to a design by Nash, as recorded above the main gate. Grade II* listed⁴. The adjacent red granite drinking fountain was donated in 1859 by William Blaber (1818-1903), early in his term as chairman and managing director of the Brighton Hove and Preston Waterworks Company. Brighton Museum and Art Gallery are the Prince Regent's former stables, designed by William Porden, built 1804. Joseph Good added stables for William IV and Queen Adelaide in 1831. Approved by the council in 1871, Philip Lockwood, the Borough Surveyor, adapted the building to cultural purposes as the Free Library and Museum at a cost of around £10,000 (estimate £6,000)¹⁸, which opened in 1873. 'Mr Lockwood proposes to construct on the ground floor an entrance hall from Church Street, two library and committee rooms, and a central gallery of 115 ft x 30ft, to be used as a public reading-room or for art collections, or a picture gallery, with, on the east side of this gallery, a subscription reading-room and library, a reference library, and a lavatory, and, on the west side, three rooms suitable either for library or museum purposes. On the upper floor there will be seven more rooms, including a lecture and museum room, with cross galleries. Altogether they occupy an area of 10,500 superficial feet on the ground floor¹¹. The council voted 18 to six in favour of the scheme and the susequent public vestry meeting to confirm the proposal was 'more influentially attended than any of a parochial character which had been held in Brighton for many years'¹⁴. The contractor was Cheesman & Co, the ironwork and heating apparatus by Reed Brothers, the carving by H R Pinker of London, decoration by Mr Dury of Warwick¹⁰. Cheesman & Co also won the contract to make and fix the book cases at a price of £235¹².Further alterations were carried out in 1894 and 1901-02. It included Brighton Public Library until the building was refurbished and re-opened in 2002. (Unfortunately, the replacement Jubilee Library in Jubilee Street did not open until 2005, after six decades of delays.) It is Grade II* listed.¹ Corn Exchange and Dome Concert Hall was built by William Porden as a riding school for the Prince of Wales in 1803-1808 and extended in 1831 by Joseph Good for the Office of Works. It was purchased by the Borough in 1850. Conversion to a theatre was carried out by borough surveyor Philip Lockwood in 1864-67. The corn market moved into the former riding school in the west wing here from the King and Queen in Marlborough Place on 1 October 1868. The sculpture of Ceres (Roman goddess of agriculture) by Robert Atkinson was installed in the tympanum above the entrance in 1934 when the buildings was refurbished by Atkinson, who also converted the former supper room into the Pavilion Theatre (now the Studio Theatre) in New Road.
