The area between Station Road in the east, Church Road in the west and St Andrew's Road to north was once a community of tight knit terraced housing that made up the settlement of Portslade-By-Sea. The vast majority were demolished in the 1950s as slum housing and the area given over to business units and small factories. Only a few houses on the southern side of the A259 along with Albion Street remain of the former district.

Camden Street
Small side street linking Wellington Road to North Street. The area here was once known as Copperas Gap and a small residential district sprung up during the Victorian period to service the growing industries based around the new port of Shoreham. Officially renamed as Portslade by Sea in 1896 the community persisted until the 1960s when many of the small terraced houses were pulled down and replaced with industrial units. The pub on the left is a survivor from those times, originally known as the Alexandra Inn, it is now the Harbour View.
