Buckingham Road, BRIGHTON, BN1 3RB

Head south down Buckingham Street until you reach this crossroads. Upper Gloucester Road runs parallel with Guildford Road but was originally a distinctly lower class type of household area. The Eddy public house was originally known as the Edinburgh but now officially calls itself by the nickname all the regulars gave it. The shop to the right is a launderette. This road is also used for a regular bus route the one at the bottom having just gone down the hill. Click on the link to take you to the next page. http://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/212516

Now residential but number 43, the house in the middle, was once the Duke of Edinburgh public house until its closure in 1924. Confusingly, at the end of the road is Image

The road was developed in the 1850s and originally ran from Upper Gloucester Road to Church Street. In the 1960s the council decided to place St Paul's Primary School across this street as well as New Dorset Street after their original premises was earmarked for demolition as part of the Churchill Square development. The road now joins New Dorset Street to the left and runs in a loop back to Upper Gloucester Road. The i360 can be seen in the distance between the houses and foliage on the left.

Originally running between Upper Gloucester Road and Church Street the southern end was lost to St Paul's Primary School in the 1960s when the latter were moved from their original premise due to the construction of Churchill Square. Much of the street dates from the 1850s though the newer 55-69 on the left were built on a site that once contained a nursery and later the Brighton Film Studios.

Head east down Buckingham Road then north as the road changes direction before turning west into Leopold Road and then turning north into Alexandra Villas. All these houses were built on the site of the former workhouse and some back gardens still retain walls from the old structure.
