Brunswick Square, HOVE, BN3 1ED

The north western side as viewed from the junction with Brunswick Place. The square was built as a high class estate between 1824-28 by Wilds and Busby and originally administered as a separate entity until 1875 when it became part of Hove. The houses themselves eventually became subdivided into flats and bedsits and by 1945 had become so squalid and lacking in amenities that Hove council considered demolishing the entire estate. However, the outcry ensured a grade II listing was applied and the houses have returned to their original condition including the outside colour.

Another view of the north west corner this time looking north. Brunswick Place is to the right at the top.

The western side between Western Road and Brunswick Square. Built between 1824-28 by Wilds and Busby originally as a separate estate from Brighton and administered as such an entity until 1875 when it became part of Hove.

The Freemasons public house is on the right with Brunswick Street West in front of it. Western Road is also the B2066 through here.

Part of the Brunswick Town area of Hove. The houses were built 1824–1830 in the Regency era.

Looking up to the junction with Western Road. The street was built as part of the Brunswick Estate in the 1820s primarily as a service road. To the left is Burger Off a pleasantly named takeaway which lies conveniently near to a pub a few doors up called the Bow Street Runner, which apparently was once the local police station for the newly built Brunswick Estate which had become the Station Inn by the turn of the 20th century. The large building next door to the pub was built in 1855-56 and was the original town hall for Brunswick later becoming Hove's first town hall before that decamped to bigger premises in Church Road. The building is currently used as part of the campus for the Brighton Institute of Modern Music.
