Dorset Place, BRIGHTON, BN2 1ST

A residential road running between St James's Street and Edward Street that was originally developed in the 1800s though next to nothing is left from that period now with the exception of the Ranelagh Arms on the left which was converted from housing into a pub sometime in the 1930s. Beyond the pub on the left is Ardingly Court and further up on that side are some 1930s council housing built to blend in within the district and are now listed. On the eastern side to the right is high rise St James's Lodge built in the 1960s and beyond the white building is Windsor Lodge erected in 1886 as a chapel but after a variety of uses has been converted to flats.

The clear blue sky, with no trace of vapour trails (no jet planes flying on 17th April), initially caught my attention; then I noticed the street lights. I was lucky to get a traffic-free shot, before the traffic lights changed.

Head a little east up Edward Street and this building is on the southern side on the junction with Dorset Place. Originally a pub now converted into solicitors offices who have retained the facade of the previous building. Click on the link to take you to the next page. http://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/231662

Linking Edward Street to St James's Street. many of the small terraced houses were demolished in the 1960s to make way for the High Street development whose high rise flats are visible to the right.

Head north up Mighell Street, east along Carlton Hill, south down White Street and west a little down Edward Street. Amex House covers the southern entrance to Mighell Street and was opened in 1977 to provide the European headquarters for American Express. Currently one of the city's largest employers Click on the link to take you to the next page. http://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/231655

Brighton has been home to American Express for more than 30 years. Its European Operating Centre, Amex House in Edward Street, opened in 1977. see Image] for a broader view of the offices

A residential road linking St James's Street with Edward Street that was originally developed in the 1800s but nothing now remains from that era. Much of the original housing was removed in the 1930s with the rest going in the 1960s. Small terraces have been rebuilt on the eastern side whilst much of the west is taken up with the high rise St James's Lodge. Tyson Place is the high rise block in the distance.

'A. Burstow & Co. Star Foundry Brighton'. The foundry was on Bread Street, with an official address on Church Street. It closed in the 1900s. In 1890 the proprietor was A. Burstow. A Star Foundry plate with another name is shown in Image

head north along Devonshire Place then west along Edward Street. The church is between Blaker and Grosvenor Streets and was constructed in 1964-65 to replace another in Mighell Street. The design is a figure of eight and the lack of windows on the street side give it a strange, mysterious feeling.

Head west down Edward Street then north into Blaker Street. Constructed in 1898 as an early slum clearance replacing Chesterfield and Street and Derby Place. The other street in this square that I once lived in and is certainly more colourful since I was last here. Click on the link to take you to the next page. http://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/231681
