IMAGES TAKEN NEAR TO
Greenways, BRIGHTON, BN2 7AY

Located off Greenways numbers 6-10 were converted from former 19th century barns belonging to Grange Farm in 1985-86. The close retains the old farmyard layout.

Originally stables belonging to Grange Farm that were converted into farmworkers cottages. Beacon Court on the left also consists of former farmbuildings converted into residences.

Built sometime in the 1970s or 80s where Greenways takes a couple of turns before resuming its southward journey. Pretty certain it has never been a farm either.

The plaque to the right of the door says "OVINGDEAN GRANGE. Immortalised in the novel by W. HARRISON AINSWORTH first published 1849" According to Wikipedia: "The Grange is the subject of legend. In 1857, the popular novelist W. Harrison Ainsworth wrote Ovingdean Grange: A Tale of the South Downs, in which he described how the future King Charles II stayed there for less than 24 hours before escaping to France in 1651, fathering a child in the process. King Charles is reported to have sheltered in the chimney breast of the master bedroom." Harrison Ainsworth's best known work is 'The Lancashire Witches'.

Built in the 16th century to replace the former manor house which was located in the field to the north of Image which is located out of shot to the left. However, the Lords of the Manor never resided here and the building was used as the farmhouse for Grange Farm for a number of centuries. The western facade was added in 1824 and now hides the older parts of house and contains dummy windows along the top floor. It was immortalized in an 1860 novel by Harrison Ainsworth which imagined the future Charles II staying here the night preceding his flight to the continent. The house remained in ownership of the Lords of the Manor until 1987 when the last lords, Brighton Council, auctioned the property. Since 2011 it has been the home of comedian Steve Coogan.
