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.

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

An interesting style of wooden house seems the norm in this close in the Whitehawk area of Brighton.

Located in the valley which give a strange perspective when viewed from the steep sides of Race Hill. The transmitter on Whitehawk Hill is visible to the right whilst the white building in the distance 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

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=
