The block of flats are located on the eastern side of the road adjacent to the junction Old Shoreham Road, the A270. Originally the site of numbers 1-9 Stapley Road which appear to have been demolished along with houses on Old Shoreham Road when the road was widenedned in the mid 1970s. Flats look like they were built in the 1980s. The Knoll Estate is located in the former northern portion of the parish of Aldrington which was once three open fields called The Knowle East, The Knowle West and The Knowle North according to its 1840 tithe map. The area was developed by Hove council from 1926 and mostly completed by 1939, the remaining undeveloped part at the northern end of Stapley Road was finished in the late 1940s.
