IMAGES TAKEN NEAR TO
Lion Mews, HOVE, BN3 5RA

Located between Richardson Road and St Philips Mews. Built in 1881 as stables for the Duke of Portland and now containing a number of small business units on the ground floor with flats occupying the former hay lofts.

These shops were built as part of Image in 1881. Located to the south of the entrance is number 2 a beauty salon and number 4 currently a florist but for many years a former Post Office. To the north is number 8 an off licence and number 10 is a specialist watch repair shop.

An unmade track off New Church Road that leads to Image, the western entrance of Image and three houses beyond the latter which were constructed in 1996. These dwellings meant the track required a name and was thus christened St Philips Mews after the church, part of which is visible on the right. This explains the anomaly of Charles Lodge (out of shot to the left) which was built in the 1920s and is officially number 75 New Church Road. The track itself was for many years known locally as Naismith Lane.

Number 12-16 is the Drury Tea and Coffee shop who moved here in 2006 from Edward Street where it had been operating since the 1960s. The firm itself has been in existence since 1935 and besides running their cafe also sell tea and coffee wholesale along with machines for making them. Number 20 is a small deli, number 24 a private house which has a statue of Buddha in the front garden (Not visible here), whilst 26 is a small service garage.

Built in 1895 initially as a chapel of ease for St Leonard's to serve the rapidly growing suburb of Aldrington becoming a parish church in 1912. The church was extended westwards in 1910 which would be converted into a hall during the 1950s.
