The north western side as viewed from the junction with Brunswick Place. The square was built as a high class estate between 1824-28 by Wilds and Busby and originally administered as a separate entity until 1875 when it became part of Hove. The houses themselves eventually became subdivided into flats and bedsits and by 1945 had become so squalid and lacking in amenities that Hove council considered demolishing the entire estate. However, the outcry ensured a grade II listing was applied and the houses have returned to their original condition including the outside colour.
