Abstract:		 The survey has confirmed that the Carrington Street car park building was constructed as a purpose-built motor garage in 1906-7. The garage was built by the Electromobile Company Limitied, who specialised in the manufacture, sale and hire of electric powered carriages. In 1910 a sister company was created, the Hertford Street Motor Hiring Company Limited. This operated from the same premises as Electromobile, but hired out luxury cars - notably Napiers - which ran on petrol. When built the garage could accommodate up to 300 vehicles and by 1914 employed up to 200 workers. By the 1930s the building was in use by University Motors Limited, who specialised in the sale, hire and repair of MG sports cars and who were at that time well established in central London Brighton. The building was re-purposed as a car-park sometime between 1964 and 1973.
