A Brief History
This has the date 1905 above the top sign which reflects its rebuilding after the original was removed when they laid the tram lines across Preston Circus at that time. The first Hare & Hounds was the oldest building in London Road and probably dated from the end of the 18th century when it lay on the Brighton and Preston parish boundaries and was the first Brighton tavern encountered on the London Road. This road had been re-routed from the Dyke Road as they sorted out the drainage problems in the main London Road valley. So the first Hare & Hounds dates from about 1790..
