Sussex Terrace, John Street, Brighton
Originally a residential street in its own right that ran from Albion Hill to Richmond Street that was developed on the western side in the late 1850s. On the eastern side was a number of chalk pits and lime kilns which remained until the 1890s when the terrace in view was built. Numbers 1-7 on the western side were destroyed by a bomb during the Second World War and the rest were removed in the slum clearances of the early 1960s. The eastern survived also suffered with misfortune with numbers 15-16 collapsing due to a burst water main in the late 1930s and numbers 17-18 found to be unstable and demolished soon after. Numbers 19-20 were removed as slum clearances in the mid 1960s, however 21-40 survive.

Cranbrook
Head south down Grove Hill then east up a footpath that roughly follows the course of Richmond Street then south down John Street. The tower block in the background is Normanhurst. John Street follows the course of what was once Sussex Terrace. The latter was earmarked for clearance in the 1930s but the war prevented though the council was inadvertently assisted by the Luftwaffe who bombed this area heavily. The clearances recommenced from 1959 and the flats and tower blocks went up in the 1960s. Click on the link to take you to the next page. http://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/231610

Richmond Street
Head north along Elmore Road until it turns east into Richmond Street once one of the steepest streets in Brighton with a gradient of 1:5.

John Street, Brighton
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.
