Viewed from Montefiore Road bridge and looking towards Holland Road bridge. The original Hove station was built on this side of the latter and operated from 1840 until the 1880s when it was closed being usurped by the current station that was built in the early 1860s. What did survive was an extensive goods yard to the left later known as Holland Road Goods Yard until that too closed around 1970. See https://www.flickr.com/photos/31890193@N08/13941540382/ for a view from Holland Road bridge taken in 1971. After the rails were lifted it became a builders yard with the current industrial estate not developed until the mid 1980s. Just visible on the left hand side are the floodlights belonging to the County Ground, Sussex.
