The Upper Drive
Image: © Simon Carey Taken: 12 Aug 2006
Looking up the road from near the junction with Old Shoreham Road. Laid out in the 1880s to connect the newly built Stanford estate with Preston, where the then Lords of the manor, the Stanfords, lived. Two school entrances are in this road, Cottesmore St Mary's to the left and Cardinal Newman by the red gates to the right. A third was based near the top at the junction of Dyke Road but was demolished in 1959. The road also gives an idea of the hilly nature of Brighton and Hove and how it has developed over the slopes of former Downland.
