IMAGES TAKEN NEAR TO
Stafford Road, BRIGHTON, BN1 5PF

This was formerly the Marquess of Exeter in Exeter Street, and the coats of arms in the pediments reflect this. The refurbishment work evidently in progress in Simon's Image has now been completed. The Chimney House's website is here http://www.chimneyhouse.co.uk/index.php

The road connects Port Hall Road to Buxton Road and was constructed slightly later than the rest of the area around the early 1890s as lower middle class housing as opposed to the other streets laid out at the same time which tended to be red brick upper middle class.

Taken from Upper Hamilton Road with Buxton Road to the left. The terraces of Exeter Street were developed in the early 1880s as a lower middle class suburb.

The only pub in the actual Port Hall suburb in a triangular junction caused by the meeting of Exeter Street (left), Upper Hamilton Road (Right) and Buxton Road (Behind the photographer).

Linking Port Hall Road with Buxton Road and developed in the early 1890s.

At the junction of Stafford Road which veers off to the left. Both roads were constructed in the early 1890s but Buxton Road is red brick upper middle class whilst Stafford Road is terraced lower middle.

Please see Simon's Image for the history of the road. The dark green house in his image is visible on the left side of this one.

Looking south towards the street's junction with Upper Hamilton Road. Developed in the early 1880s as a lower middle class suburb.

Opposite the sixth form college. This converted house has been a mosque for over 30 years and was an stop off point in the early 1980s for the notorious Abu Hamza when he was studying at a local university and working as a nightclub bouncer.

The last area to be developed between the railway and Dyke Road and it shows in the architecture. Completed in 1899 this middle class road had moved away from the red brick of Buxton Road towards the early 'Tudorbethan' style that became popular during Edwardian times particularly in Hove. Unfortunately, like Hove, some of these houses have disappeared to be replaced by blocks of ordinary flats, some of which are in the process of being developed on the right hand side. The road connects Old Shoreham Road with Port Hall Road.
