Old Steine

The Old Steine (/ˈstiːn/) is a thoroughfare in Brighton city centre, East Sussex, and is the southern terminus of the A23.

The southern end leads to Marine Parade, the Brighton seafront and the Palace Pier.

The Old Steine is also the site of a number of City Centre bus stops for Brighton buses.

The Old Steine was originally an open green with a stream running adjacent to the easternmost dwellings of Brighthelmstone.

[1] Dr. Richard Russell, whose 1750 paper on the health benefits of sea water helped to popularise Brighton, had a house built on the Old Steine in 1759; the site is now occupied by the Royal Albion Hotel.
