Kingswood Street, BRIGHTON, BN2 9QH

The current road heads north from Edward Street and eventually ends on Albion Hill. However, it originally terminated at Carlton Hill with this section in view once known as Nelson Street until the old Victorian slum housing was cleared in the late 1930s though little was developed along the road until the 1960s. The road name appears to have changed in the 1970s. The building on the right is The Curve whilst in the distance is the former Lion & Unicorn pub that closed around 2010 and has now been converted into flats.

Flats built in 1930's

Built in the 1930's

Head south along John Street until the junction of Sussex Street is reached just north of the pub. Although rebuilt the pub remains in the same position it occupied before the slum clearances and is one of the few buildings in this area to retain its position. The steep gradient in this part of town is evident in Sussex Street. Click on the link to take you to the next page. http://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/231626

Head south down John Street then east up Carlton Hill and north into Tilbury Place.Number 1 was developed as St Johns Lodge in 1810 and the rest of the row followed in 1812 and initially called Patriot Place but renamed Tilbury in 1862 after Edwin Tarner's wife's maiden name. The northern end is closed off by Prior House constructed in 1936 and just visible and the western side provides the entrance to Carlton Hill Primary School. The row was given to Brighton Corporation in 1933 and number 1 became known as Tarner House. Click on the link to take you to the next page. http://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/231643

Continues further up as Carlton Hill and is another contender for steepest hill in Brighton. The police, whose main station is round the corner in John Street, have decided to close a section between there and Circus Street which heads out to the left.. Kingswood Flats are to the left further up.

How the other half lived. On the corner with Sussex Street. No blue plaque on the wall to tell the world my wife lived here until the age of three.
