IMAGES TAKEN NEAR TO
The Parks, BRIGHTON, BN41 2JF

Viewed from a path that links the road with Foredown Road. The houses and road were built in the mid 1990s as a new access for Mile Oak via the Hangleton Link Road. The sun is making a brief appearance through the clouds and shining crimson on the sea in the distance.

Small cul-de-sac off Fox Way which was built in the 1990s. Shoreham Power Station is just visible in the distance.

This footpath is relatively new and seems to have been part of the housing development of the nineteen eighties. It certainly did not exist in the seventies when the contributor was told to walk back the way he came by an irate farmer when crossing a ploughed field in the same position as the footpath. It would have saved me a hundred metres.

This road, along with others in the area was built by local builders, Stone and Co/Sons in 1966. It is a cul de sac with a turning point at the top of the hill. Needless to write, but there were no or few cars in the road during its first years. The road was unusual in that bungalows were mixed with 'chalet bungalows', presumably to allow for a mix of residents.

This is the name given it by local residents when it first backed on to new houses in the mid nineteen sixties.

Three generations of housing can be seen in the photo. The bungalows were built in the late nineteen fifties, the 'chalet bungalows' in the nineteen sixties and the houses in the background were built in the early nineteen nineties.

This Water Tower was built in 1909. It is no longer in use as such but has been restored and is now a Countryside Centre. It houses a camera obscura which is open weekends and bank holidays.

Former Water Tower built in 1909, currently disused, most recently used as a countrysuide centre and camera obscura http://www.brighton-hove.gov.uk/index.cfm?request=c1020

Former water tower built in 1909 for a sanatorium which once lay to the right where the houses are. The hospital was demolished in 1989 but left the tower which reopened in 1991 as a countryside centre which also contained a camera obscura projecting images from the tower into a cupola below. The centre was closed by the council due to lack of funds in 2008 and various schemes to reopen it have so failed and thus currently remains closed to the public.
