IMAGES TAKEN NEAR TO
Third Avenue, HOVE, BN3 2PD

Currently home to Heathcotes Garage. The far wall has a faded 'Ford' sign painted on it the remains of a previous dealership that operated from this premises.

This is the eastern side of the road that links Kingsway (A259) with Church Road (B2066). Fourth Avenue was part of the Stanford Estate that was the last of the Brighton and Hove coast to be developed. Like Cliftonville slow progress in selling plots and building houses meant that styles changed in the same street let alone different ones. The gables, red bricks being the last to be built. Fourth Avenue like many original higher class streets is wide enough to allow parking on either side of the road, double parking in the middle of the road and a large enough transit way either side for traffic.

Typical houses in the streets south of Church Road in Hove. Most of the street names here are called "Villas" as they formed part of the 'planned resort' of Cliftonville in the mid nineteenth century. This one taken in Albany Villas looking north.

One of the earliest purpose built block of flats in Hove being erected in the late 1870s when Grand Avenue was laid out.

Behind it are the few remaining original townhouses in this avenue.

House next to Windsor Lodge that has its own drive with room for a van and boat, very valuable in the road as the parking ticket machine gives a clue what the rest of us have to do. A replica Chopper bike is tied to the lamp post outside the house.

Third Avenue was laid out as part of the Stanford estate in the late 19th century.

These signs seem to be from the early part of the Twentieth century and are a treat in what is otherwise a fairly bland streetscape.
