Semi-detached bungalows (except for 36 on the left) that were built in the mid 1950s on the site of Goldstone House. See http://regencysociety-jamesgray.com/volume16/source/jg_16_074.html for a view taken in 1880 not long after it was built. The house belonged to a local Alderman, JJ Clark, who was instrumental in setting up a local bakery firm, Clark's and also Brighton & Hove Albion, where he leased a field in front of his house that later became the Goldstone Ground. The house was demolished in 1955, see http://regencysociety-jamesgray.com/volume16/source/jg_16_075.html for a view in the same year.
