Hove Manor, Hove Street, Hove

Block of flats built in the 1930s on the site of the former Hove Manor that had been constructed in 1786 and demolished in 1933. See http://regencysociety-jamesgray.com/volume12/source/jg_12_153.html for a view taken in 1915, and http://regencysociety-jamesgray.com/volume12/source/jg_12_173.html for a view of the flats nearing completion in 1936. Hove Street itself had been the old village street heading north from the beach to the Downs and had originally been narrow and possessing a bend. This disappeared in the 1920s when the street was widened and developed. In the process all the old 18th and 19th century buildings were demolished, the last going in the 1980s.
