Looking towards Brighton.

Built in the 1850s as part of the Cliftonville estate and being near the sea front far grander than houses further away. Number 8 is famous for being the home of Kitty O'Shea whose affair with politician Charles Stewart Parnell took place here whilst her husband was away at sea. Viewed from King's Esplanade with the houses in the distance on Kingsway, the A259. There is a cycle lane along the esplanade though the cyclist is making a rough estimate where it exactly is after snow carpeted the city leaving behind 10cm.

Still high class residences the southern end of the terrace is still intact as a 6 bedroom house and is for sale if your local building society will let you have a mortgage for £3,650,000.

Narrow twitten linking Kingsway to King's Esplanade that were built in the 1850s.

Alley from King's Esplanade to Kingsway; cottages to left.

Linking Kingsway (A259) and King's Esplanade. This part of Brighton & Hove is the only section that has housing between the main coastal road and the beach. Victoria Cottages date from the late 1830s. The salmon pink building to the left is the rear of Maroccos purveyors of the best homemade Italian ice cream in the city.

The building dates from the 1930s and was originally owned by Fortes. It was purchased by an Italian couple in 1969 and renamed Maroccos. For many years it was general cafe whose speciality was home made ice cream until 1998 when it became an Italian restaurant. The Italian theme was dropped in 2010, however, their continued mainstay was the home made ice cream now served at the front of the premises and hugely popular with the locals. Even on a mild February day there is a large queue waiting for ice cream.
