George started off in the relatively humble position of Watchman but his detective qualities must have been noted (it was said that he never forgot a face) and, we are told, he was a diligent and retentive reader of statutes and judicial works. I can’t stress enough how essential it is to have three to six months of operating expenses on hand. Industry knowledge: Understanding the game of pool and the pool hall industry is essential. Age 2) 1856-82 when it was rebuilt and became the first Hove Town Hall. This was the very first "Hove Town Hall" and it accommodated: the Police Station, the Fire Station and the Law Courts and was in essence the building that exists to this day. The Society seems to have been particularly strong in Brighton and Hove and to this day its successors are still to be found in their Edward Street Church. It is architecturally the most imposing building in the street, it is the only "listed" building in the street and it has a rich and varied history.

The old lease on the building had expired but a new 14 year lease had been negotiated with the Landlord and there were already big plans for improvements: a Billiards Room, a Smoking Room and a Lounge "furnished sumptuously in Japanese style". There was an interesting juxtaposition within the building. There were "red letter days", "smoking concerts", "picnics, balls and dinners". There was however, from the very start, some residential accommodation on the first floor and for much of the first 40 years that accommodation was occupied by George Breach and his family. There was however an unfortunate early hiccup in George’s career when, in December 1838, he was disciplined for "gross misconduct". It was a breach (no pun intended) of his duty but the incident seems to have proved a salutary experience for thereafter he was to have a long, successful and illustrious 42-year career. Anyway, the Brunswick Commissioners appointed a Steyning man by name of George Breach. This edifice, a magnificent piece of Victorian Gothic that opened for business in 1882, brought to an end the Brunswick Street West building’s municipal function. It was to be built on the west side of Brunswick Street West on a plot of land purchased from Charles Busby himself.

They are both from the 1860’s. In March 1861, How much capital is needed to open a billiards club Lady Otway who lived at 16 Brunswick Terrace was the victim of a particularly audacious robbery. Who else lived on the premises during those first 40 years? Overall, he seems to have been a man who took all his duties - major and minor - seriously but without ever losing a sense of proportion. So that by the time of his retirement at the age of 67 he was Chief Superintendent of Hove Police, the most "senior policeman in the Kingdom" and was described in the most glowing terms by his employers, the (by then) Hove Commissioners, as "a capital man for his post". Age 3) 1882 to the present shorn of its municipal functions it sought and found a wide range of commercial, social, institutional and even spiritual purposes. He had been found in a public house "outside the district", was reprimanded and lost a week’s pay. Silver, jewellery and £150 in cash were stolen from her house.

If you plan to have ten tables, you’re already looking at a minimum of $30,000. At a minimum, this should cover general liability, property damage, and potentially even liquor liability if you’re serving alcohol. Initial inventory costs could be around $5,000 to $10,000, including both alcohol and food. Utilities: Electricity, water, and other utility hook-ups often require deposits or initial fees. Business management skills: You need to understand how to manage a business effectively. Furnishings and decor: From seating to flooring to lighting, you’ll need to invest in the atmosphere. Business insurance: You’ll want to get your hands on some good business insurance. Problem-solving skills: Running any business comes with challenges, and a pool hall is no different. Starting a pool hall is not a venture for the faint of pocket. For example, if your hall sells an average of $200 in food and beverages per day, that’s an additional $6,000 per month.
