Goldstone Crescent
Long road connecting Old Shoreham Road, the A270, with King George VI Avenue, the A2038, and consequently has been known to have been a bit of a rat run though this has lessened since the building of the bypass. As part of the deal in buying the land for Hove Park, the Nevill family had an option to develop what was soon known as Goldstone Crescent being marked as such on 1911 map. However, development was taken up until the 1920s and most of the length of road had been built upon by the end of the 1930s.

The Nevill, Nevill Road
Built in 1936 to serve the new houses being built elsewhere. The name comes from the Nevill family, Marquises of Abergavenny who were the landlords of West Blatchington Farm and once owned the land which was subsequently developed in this area. Their coat of arms still adorn the pub sign.
