I wonder if the estate agent selling one of the houses opposite will promote the off road parking facility. This part of Nevill Road was originally an ancient east-west droveway that followed the Downs through the then small villages of Preston and West Blatchington. Nevill Road was named in 1928 and built up when Hove corporation took over the running of the former parish of West Blatchington, with many of the houses built in the late 1930s. Taken from the corner of Eridge Road the land drops into what was once Goldstone Bottom behind the houses.
