IMAGES TAKEN NEAR TO
Brangwyn Avenue, BRIGHTON, BN1 8XH

located between London Road (A23) and the Old London Road

Between the Old London Road and the Patcham By Pass Patcham Peace Gardens cover 3.12 acres of land which were purchased from the Abergavenny estate in June 1928, chiefly through the efforts of Herbert Carden; it had been planned to build a petrol station on the site. The northern half of the gardens is a simple grassed area, but the southern half was laid out as an attractive sunken rose garden and includes a Tuscan pergola and a small Doric temple, both purchased from the 1924 Wembley Exhibition; the temple is decorated with fruit motifs and figureheads. http://www.mybrightonandhove.org.uk/page_id__8438_path__0p114p450p815p.aspx

Having recently seen Image by Paul Gillett in 2011 it reminded me of my Fathers photo taken in 1968. What a difference 40 odd years make, I suppose it's down to the lack of finance and not ability.

The A23 is the prominent road.

Most crescents return to the road they left, but this one does not. It changes name to Windmill Drive directly above the Patcham railway tunnel. Windmill Drive does not return either.
