Head north along Elmore Road until it turns east into Richmond Street once one of the steepest streets in Brighton with a gradient of 1:5. To the west of this point a wall was placed across the width of the street to stop runaway carts heading to the bottom. The house on the left, 34A Richmond Street is the last remaining building from Chates Farm that continued operating as a working dairy farm between 1858 and 1934 behind the row of houses in view despite being surrounded by an ever expanding urban area.
