Downlands - Upper Brighton Road - 1939
   

Built in 1939 by Portsmouth and Brighton United Breweries, who later changed their name to 'Brickwoods' but ceased trading in 1983.

 It was another classic Roadhouse design built specifically to capture the passing motorist. It was a Beefeater pub (Whitrbread Brewery) for a while but is
now part of the Toby Carvery chain.
