Horror maze plan for former Brighton nightclub

6:50pm Tuesday 3rd January 2012 in News

A horror maze could open in a former nightclub.

Worthing-based Liquid Lounge UK has applied to convert the Grade II listed building in Dyke Road, Brighton, which used to be New Hero nightclub.

Planning papers indicate the daytime attraction will be called House of the Lost and it will be spread over two levels. The proposal would include a shop, photo area and toilets.

The building was originally the Swan Downer School for poor girls, for whom it was designed and built in 1867.

Comments are currently being accepted and a decision is expected by February 3.

Looking at the beatings, muggings, sexual assaults and random attacks that took place, undetected to date, in Brighton over the past 2 weeks I think we already have a Horror Maze, it is called the LANES!

"House of the Lost"? In Dyke Road?
Surely the market is saturated there already.

Is this the place that was The Asylum about 20 years ago? Owned by the popular Brighton landlord Old Nick VH?

Quite agree. Brighton has become a complete horror story. Not just in the last few weeks, more like years, walk down west st on saturday night you can see a horror story for free.
Why go somewhere and pay to see it!

wow what a great idea, this IS what Brighton really needs! another poorly executed themed attraction! I just don't see what audience this would be aimed at? If you want a Goth/Vamp experience you can just go the the caroline of brunswick any day/night of the year...

Have a few copies of the Daily Mail lying around in there and it'll be truly horrid.

They will have to attract a lot of customers to pay the £50k a year Nick VH is charging.
What gets me though is ,they aren't using it as a night club so why doesn't the licence get revoked? Our system of once a licence is granted it stays no matterwhat is rediculous, it means that residence forever have the spectre of a night club opening hanging over their heads. Its obviously not suitable as a club hence the fact it hasn't had any success in the last 10 yeras.
