Small area of flats to the rear of Hove Street built on the site of the former manor house.

Residential street that runs between Vallance Road and Kingsway, the A259. Not much activity after 8-10 inches of snow fell overnight.

The sea front and the King Alfred Swimming baths were behind the photographer in 1973

All that remains of Hove Manor built in 1790 and demolished by the council in 1936. Hove Street was the original village street of Hove which a cluster of cottages, an inn and the manor stood. Today nothing remains of the original village except this wall.

The name Hove Manor still exists but is for these flats and parade of shops rather than the original Georgian manor house.

A residential street linking Kingsway, the A259, to Church Road, the B2066, that was developed in stages, the southern part in view was built in the 1860s but the northern end not completed until the 1880s. Virginia Woolf spent a number of her childhood summers at Number 9 on the right next to the black car.

Block of flats built in the 1930s on the site of the former Hove Manor that had been constructed in 1786 and demolished in 1933. See http://regencysociety-jamesgray.com/volume12/source/jg_12_153.html for a view taken in 1915, and http://regencysociety-jamesgray.com/volume12/source/jg_12_173.html for a view of the flats nearing completion in 1936. Hove Street itself had been the old village street heading north from the beach to the Downs and had originally been narrow and possessing a bend. This disappeared in the 1920s when the street was widened and developed. In the process all the old 18th and 19th century buildings were demolished, the last going in the 1980s.

Built in the 1880s as part of the St Aubyns development despite facing out onto Kingsway, the A259.

Located at the southern end of the street and completed in the mid 1870s.
