Adelaide Mansions, HOVE, BN3 2GT

Built in 1874 with parts once being a former hotel, though they have now all been converted to flats which overlook King's Lawns and the sea. Taken from Queen's Gardens with the white exterior reflecting the late day's sun.

Constructed in 1874 and converted into flats during the first decade of the twentieth century. They were further modernised in the 1980s and 1990s when half of the building was converted from a former hotel. Adelaide Mansions occupies the space between First Avenue on the left and St John's Road on the right and overlooks Brunswick Lawns and the sea. The road in the foreground is Kingsway (A259).

Two buildings looking onto Kingsway. Adelaide Mansions, on the left, was built in 1873, designed by local architect Thomas Lainson. Grade II listed - see https://historicengland.org.uk/listing/the-list/list-entry/1205849?section=official-listing. 35 - 38 Adelaide Crescent, on the right, is part of the grand development of Adelaide Crescent, originally designed by Decimus Burton in 1830 but with only limited development initially, with final construction to an altered design (including this part) not taking place until 1850-60. The two sides are both Grade II* listed, but separately - for this, the western, side see https://historicengland.org.uk/listing/the-list/list-entry/1187537?section=official-listing.

The road lies between First Avenue and Palmerira Square/Adelaide crescent and was built as a service road for the latter which means it is split between residential properties and workshops and garages. The pavement is actually marked out on the road.
