IMAGES TAKEN NEAR TO
Scott Road, HOVE, BN3 5HN

A short residential street that links Portland Road to Marmion Road that was developed in the first decade of the 20th century. The trees mark the site of Stoneham Park.

Festooned with billboards and an advert from the pre-decimal age. If only petrol was sixpence today. That at least dates the building to the 1960s.

See also Image taken six years ago and the only thing changed is the occupants. The ghost sign that reads 'Petrol save 6d" is still there beneath the billboards.

Located on the corner of Scott Road which the building predates. Opened in 1896 as the Portland Hotel which was later shortened to the Portland until about five years ago when it was changed to its current name. The building was rebuilt in 1928, see http://regencysociety-jamesgray.com/volume16/source/jg_16_022.html for a view taken in 1911.

Appears on the 1911 OS map and built before the rest of the houses to the west of it. Still in use today by both Army Cadets and Hove and Adur Sea cadets.

A short residential street linking Marmion Road to Stoneham Road that was constructed in the first decade of the 20th century. The road currently consists of three houses on the western side and a warehouse, in the process of being demolished, on the eastern side.

Sandwiched between Image to the west and Image to the east the building predates both having been built in 1888 as a school that would become Aldrington Church of England Primary. They continued to operate here until 1990 when a decision to move from what had become a cramped site to newer one in West Blatchington, see Image The current incumbents, Young Sussex Nursery, opened the following year in 1991.

Small park on Marmion Road that was given over for public use by the Duke of Portland in 1906. The land had previously been a gravel pit. There is not a great deal of greenery here with much of the park being tarmac and includes an enclosed area for football and basketball as well as a separate playground area. Out of shot to the right is The Hive, the park cafe which is owned and run by a local community group. As the only open space in a densely populated area it is a very popular local utility.

In the process of being demolished. Purpose built for the YMCA in 1919 who occupied it until moving out in the summer of 2015 no longer able to justify the large expenditure on maintaining the building. The main entrance and east wing have already been demolished with the west wing about to go. Five new homes are to be built on the site.
