On the day of the Whitehawk Festival St. Cuthman's Church was originally erected in Lintott Avenue in 1937, but was destroyed on 16 August 1943 by a German bomb with a church-warden buried alive. The new church was built in 1951-2 http://www.mybrightonandhove.org.uk/page_id__6550_path__0p114p462p795p.aspx

Large estate on the eastern edge of Brighton viewed from Race Hill which up to the end of the eighteenth century was known as Whitehawk Down with the valley called Whitehawk Bottom. Built as a large council estate between 1933-37 to house those removed from the slum clearances simultaneously occurring in the centre of town. The estate was rebuilt in the 1970s rearranging the former wide sweeping roads with small cul-de-sacs, many former roads disappeared or are truncated like Whitehawk Road to the right beyond the sports pavilion which originally continued northwards. Red Hill is to the left on the other side of the valley whilst the large white building to the right is Marine Gate which overlooks Brighton Marina.

Viewed from near St Cuthman's church, the grandstand on Brighton Racecourse can be seen in the background, In recent years sheep have been bought onto the hill mainly as a cheap means of keeping the grass short http://www.brighton-hove.gov.uk/index.cfm?request=c1179479 As a youngster I regularly played on this hill which was known to locals as "The Steep Hill" The chalk path still visible is a short cut from Whitehawk to Manor hill

In the public open space, with Wilson Avenue ahead.

The park was formerly in Lintott Avenue before it was demolished in the early 1980's as part of the development of Whitehawk, it was completed in 1988 http://www.24hourmuseum.org.uk/brightonandhove/local/TRA22073.html?ixsid=

Along the boundary of the open space, this was the result of a regional hedge laying competition held on 13/02/10, i.e. about three weeks earlier. Beyond the litter bin and a gate in the hedge, the next stretch doesn't look as good.
