Head south down Grove Hill then east up a footpath that roughly follows the course of Richmond Street then south down John Street. The tower block in the background is Normanhurst. John Street follows the course of what was once Sussex Terrace. The latter was earmarked for clearance in the 1930s but the war prevented though the council was inadvertently assisted by the Luftwaffe who bombed this area heavily. The clearances recommenced from 1959 and the flats and tower blocks went up in the 1960s. Click on the link to take you to the next page. http://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/231610
