The Palmeira, Cromwell Road
The only pub in the square is on the crossroads of Holland Road and the B2120 with the western portion named Cromwell Road. Built in the 1850s as a hotel to serve the newly opened Hove station up Holland Road to the right. The name derives from the former landowner in the area, Sir Isaac Goldsmid, who at the behest of Queen Victoria assisted in solving a land dispute for the Portuguese government in South America and was awarded the Baronetcy of Palmeira as a reward. This looks in a westerly direction from the crossroads, with part of the building now a corner shop which itself is on the junction of Cromwell Road and Lorna Road.
