Morley Street, BRIGHTON, BN2 9DH

Built in 1938 as part of a slum clearance on the lower western side of what was then Sussex Street. Received a direct hit during World War Two that resulted in the deaths of three children. Still used by the NHS today.

Viewed from Ashton Rise, Morley Street was originally the lower western end of Sussex Street that was developed from the 1800s onwards and subsequently became a high density slum area much of which was removed in the mid 1930s and replaced with a couple of clinics on the northern side to the right, one of which was hit by a bomb during the Second World War. On the southern side to the left a new Municipal Market was opened in Circus Street in 1937 but closed a few years ago and is now awaiting development. The graffiti artists have been out in force on the roof with Aroe and Solveig visible, two well known local artists who happen to be father and daughter. Victoria Gardens can be seen beyond the road junction.

Built in 1938 originally as a chest clinic which closed in 1989. Beyond is the NHS Family centre which occupies the former site of Sussex Street School which was built in 1872 and demolished in 1962. See, http://regencysociety-jamesgray.com/volume27/source/jg_27_027.html for a similar view taken in 1962. The high rises beyond are Courtlands to the left and Saxonbury to the right.

Head north along Ashton Rise then south down Richmond Parade. The latter is the former western section of Richmond Street from which it is now cut off from. The chapel was rebuilt in the late 1960s to replace the previous building which had stood on the opposite side of the road from 1825 to 1866. This area was cleared from 1959 onwards and resulted in the construction of five tower blocks as replacements. Click on the link to take you to the next page. http://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/231516

The current occupants of this night club since 2012. Its most well known incarnation was as the Ocean Rooms which closed in 2010 after the violent death of a clubber.

A cul de sac off Morley Street that was developed in the early 1820s and soon became an area of slum housing. The southern end was cleared in the 1930s with threst following in the 1950s and 60s.

These central gardens were originally a single large, flat, open space which joined the Steine and the Level, and which was usually known as the North Steine http://www.mybrightonandhove.org.uk/category_id__823_path__0p115p203p.aspx
