Chartfield, HOVE, BN3 7RD

Cul-de-sac built in 1978 on the site of an old water board depot.

Built in 1884 along with the nearby waterworks that is now the British Engineerium museum. Viewed over a wall from Woodlands Drive they have been talks of developing the piece of land in the foreground but have been held up by protests.

I wonder if the estate agent selling one of the houses opposite will promote the off road parking facility. This part of Nevill Road was originally an ancient east-west droveway that followed the Downs through the then small villages of Preston and West Blatchington. Nevill Road was named in 1928 and built up when Hove corporation took over the running of the former parish of West Blatchington, with many of the houses built in the late 1930s. Taken from the corner of Eridge Road the land drops into what was once Goldstone Bottom behind the houses.

Looking back towards the junction with Goldstone Crescent with Woodland Avenue continuing beyond. Developed in the 1930s.

Residential road that links Nevill Road, the A2023, with Dyke Road Avenue. The road here dips into the former Goldstone Bottom then climbs to the peak of Red Hill. The line of trees in the distance to the left is Three Cornered Copse, the titular woodland.

The cottages are former staff houses for workers for the former waterworks which is now the British Engineerium museum which is located behind the photographer on Woodland Drive.

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. This is the section between Elizabeth Avenue and Nevill Way.

Linking Nevill Road with Goldstone Crescent and showing the drop the land makes as it descends into what once was Goldstone Bottom.

The first of 5 small cul-de-sacs that leave the southern side of Nevill Road and Court Farm Road though it is also the access road for Aldrington Primary School, North Nevill allotments and Nevill Playing Field. All were constructed in the late 1930s.
