Old Shoreham Road, HOVE, BN3 7EB

A270, connecting Hove and Shoreham through Hove's northern suburbs.

A residential street that links Weald Avenue to Holmes avenue that was developed in the 1930s in the north east corner of the former parish of Aldrington.

Located on the western side of the junction with Amherst Crescent. The buildings date from the 1930s with 268 being a local Post Office since at least the 1940s.

One of the longest roads in the Brighton-Hove-Adur conurbation, stretching from the junction with New England Road in TQ3005 before ending at Kingston crossroads in TQ2306. The road itself is very ancient, following on or very near a Roman Road that once linked the Downland areas around Brighton with Chichester. Until this century much of it passed through open fields, with most of the land north of the road only being built on in the postwar years. For a long time this was the A27 until the building of the Brighton by-pass in the 1990s meant a redesignation to the A270.

A residential road that links Old Shoreham Road to Amherst Crescent that was constructed in 1930-31.

For many years a slightly dodgy pub called The Stadium but in the last year has been changed into a pub restaurant specialising in Italian food with another former section of the bar turned a cafe specialising in all day English breakfasts. Located at the junction of Old Shoreham Road and Holmes Avenue.

"The Atlas" is a public house with a restaurant and a café. The café is seen here, viewed from the top of Amherst Crescent.

At the corner of Old Shoreham Road and Holmes Avenue; formerly the Stadium Hotel.

Originally opened in the 1930s as the Stadium Hotel and public house and for many years ideally situated for those wishing a quick tipple before or after a match at the Goldstone Ground which was ten minutes walk to the east. The ground's closure in 1997 was the beginning of the end for the pub which continued operating until 2015, the last six years as the Atlas, see Image, until finally closing. The building was converted into a small convenience store run by the Co-Op which opened in 2016.
