Carlton Hill, BRIGHTON, BN2 0HF

The flats date from the mid 1960s and were originally the rebuilt Red Lion public house which closed around ten years ago. The original pub opened in the 1850s and was rebuilt when the area was largely cleared of housing, see http://regencysociety-jamesgray.com/volume24/source/jg_24_150.html for a view of the former pub building.

Located on the corner of Marine View is the former Devonshire public house which closed around 2008, the last of the pubs in Carlton Hill which once numbered fifteen. The original pub dates from the 1840s but was rebuilt during the 1930s.

Head east down Sussex Street the south down Queens Park Road then west along Park Road Terrace. A survivor of the slum clearances in this area which had started in the 1930s but only completed in the 1960s. The houses to the right are the only other survivors.

The road was originally laid out in the 1800s but was anything but pleasant as the area north of Edward Street and west of egremont Place soon became a slum area. The eastern side was cleared and rebuilt in the 1930s but the western side had to wait until the 1960s. St John's Mount is the block of flats on the left.

Dated 1890. Viewed from the south.

Head east along Carlton Hill then north up Upper Park Place then east along the remainder of Queens Park Road until the junction with Egremont Place. This is one of two gates constructed as entrances to Queens Park. The other is in the next grid square a few hundred metres to the east. Designed by Charles Barry (St Peters Church and Houses of Parliament) in 1829 and rebuilt in 1890 after the park became public.

A residential road that heads north from the junction with Edward Street and Eastern Road before continuing in an arc to the west as Queen's Park Road. The road was built in the 1810s and named after Egremont House that was located on the eastern side of Upper Rock Gardens until its demolition in the 1880s.

Tucked away on the corner of Marine View and Park Road Terrace is one of the few manufacturing centres left in the centre of the city. The Zylo Works were established by Malby & Co formed 1810, a London firm, after the First World War to manufacturer nameplates. The works were extended during the 1930s and became the headquarters of the firm during the Second World War when they moved all production here to escape the blitz. During the conflict they made items for aircraft and maintained close links with the aerospace industry after. Still producing nameplates today under the London Name Plate Company and still run by the same family. The factory was one of the few buildings to survive along with the terrace to the right when the area bounded by St John's Place, Carlton Hill, Upper Park Place and Sussex Street was cleared of slum housing in the 1960s. Carlton Place, whose nameplate can be seen in the foreground was one of the streets completely demolished and replaced with flats truncating the street in the process.
