IMAGES TAKEN NEAR TO
Old Shoreham Road, HOVE, BN3 7ED

Located between Image to the west and Image to the east and built around the same time as the former and currently a car dealership.

The building was constructed around 1963 and is currently occupied by Pavilion Batteries.

The building dates from the 1930s and for many years was a depot for a shop fitting company, see http://regencysociety-jamesgray.com/volume16/source/jg_16_129.html taken around 1959. since about 2000 it has been home to Solutions Inc, an Apple dealership. Confusingly, its immediate next door neighbour is Image, numbers 257-265 do not exist. Also an opposite view of Image

Former engineering works that was built in the 1950s on the old trackbed of the Dyke Railway which passed under the Old Shoreham Road at this point between 1887-1938. The works have been split into smaller units with this one occupied by Ticket Media. The frontage was rebuilt around 2010, see Image, due to structural defects possibly caused by its location on a filled in cutting.

From Maple Gardens.

Currently occupied by wine warehouse, Majestic Wines. If you think the exterior looks suspiciously like a filling station then that is because it once was, see http://regencysociety-jamesgray.com/volume16/source/jg_16_143.html for a view taken in 1969.

A view of the road as it drops into what was once known as Hangleton Bottom with Hove cemetery's southern portion to the right. To the left are a series of commercial premises built on the site of the former Sackville Nurseries. At the top of the further slope is the site of a former bridge that spanned the Dyke Railway that operated between 1887 to 1938. See http://regencysociety-jamesgray.com/volume16/source/jg_16_141.html for a similar view taken in 1969 a few years before the road became a dual carriageway.

Offices of the outsourcing company is tucked away behind Image well back from the road. The building dates from the 1960s.

Former small factory that appears to have been subdivided into a number of smaller business units. The factory was built in the post war era on the site of a filled in cutting that carried the former Dyke Railway that operated from 1887 to 1938.

Directly opposite, Image is the local suppliers for Apple products who also have a small store in the centre of town. Both the store and small unit on the far side lie above what was once the Dyke railway that operated between 1887-1939 which went under the road at this point. It has long been filled in and much of the course is now built over. Old Shoreham Road is the A270.
