I didn’t go looking for this building, Iv’e past it more times than I can remember and not really taken any notice of it. How could I go past and not snap it up! It was an old stable sighted high up on a hill in Brighton. Could be Regency but probably Victorian. Beuatiful cast moulded dog heads in moulded frame fixed to the stable doors.
The Stable doors, I think its only storage now.
End of stable building. In contrast to this building, a new trendy development has been constructed opposite this image.
These are great mouldings fitted to the stable doors, let the mouldings do the talking. Lovely local history…

Dogs are mainly symbol of security. So it may be possible that the owner of stable had some touching history with dogs.
Thanks for dropping by burgersbite, you are probably correct, it may have been a kennel as well…

Too bad that they don’t make cool architectural stuff like this anymore… Credit crunch my butthole: glass & concrete, glass & concrete, glass & concrete, that’s all they build these days.
I don’t know if they could do these nice touches anymore…
It’s amazing how much you can walk past before you start noticing it. These details are brilliant and so often get lost when buildings are altered or demolished.
Thanks for calling by claystories, I think this particular building may be listed, so hopefully everything remains intact.,,
