The Droveway
Residential road linking Dyke Road to Goldstone Crescent.

Still a country track in 1912 it began to be developed once the former downland was acquired by Hove corporation from Preston Rural District Council in 1928. This section looks westwards from the crossroads with Shirley Drive.

Rugby Pitch, Hove Recreation Ground
The park has been home to Hove RFC since 1990 when it moved from nearby Hove Park. There are four pitches in total, two north of the clubhouse in view here, and two to the south. The orange fencing protects a cricket square used by Palmers Cricket Club during the summer months. The nearest pitch is showing the scars of a match from the previous day with evidence of a sliding try scored in the corner.
