The old and the new, Eaton Gardens

Image: © Simon Carey Taken: 8 Jan 2006

The building on the left was once part of a number of similarly built gothic style Victorian mansions that lined this side of the street. This one has survivied because it has become a nursing home. Unfortunately, its neighbours either side have succumbed and become a modern block of flats. This is very much the trend in Hove as the land these mansions are built on become more valuable than the buildings themselves. Mansions like these can be converted into 8 or 9 flats but there is more money in taller, newer blocks. Eaton Gardens runs south from the B2120 its southerly junction being split between this square and TQ2804. This picture has been taken halfway down the road and looks to the east.
