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.

The original 1882 building by Alfred Waterhouse was partly destroyed by a fire in 1966. The rest continued to function until the law courts moved to its new position in 1971 and was subsequently demolished too. The new building was completed and opened in 1974. The sculpture of a juggler on a unicycle is by Helen Collis. Ironically, the sign on the lamp post bars the use of bicycles in this area.

The home of Rear Admiral Sir John Hindmarsh, founding Governor of South Australia. Lived at 30 Albany Villas, Hove. 1857-1859.

Between Albany Villas and Fourth Avenue. The buildings to the right of the Albion Inn were originally part of the Cliftonville development that to the left was initially green fields until the Stanford Estate was developed from the 1890s. Church Road itself follows an old track linking the then small fishing villages of Brighton and Hove but is now one of the two major shopping streets in Hove.
