Brighton Gazette, Hove Post, and Sussex Telegraph black plaque

This black commemorative plaque records: The Post & Telegraph This building was constructed for the National Provincial Bank, between 1921 and 1923, in the Neoclassical French style of the latter half of the 18th century. The bank was built on the site of several shops, including the premises occupied by the Brighton Gazette, Hove Post and Sussex Telegraph, which published its final edition in 1981. The bank ( by then renamed the National Westminster) closed in April 1994. These premises were refurbished by J D Wetherspoon in December 2010

The Brighton Gazette, Hove Post, and Sussex Telegraph were local newspapers that served the communities of Brighton, Hove, and wider Sussex, providing regional news until the Sussex Telegraph published its final edition in 1981. Their operation from this site highlights the historical importance of press in maintaining community ties and disseminating information locally.
