WOODINGDEAN

Norton Drive

Neighbourhood:
Woodingdean
1953
2019

James Gray: These photographs [jgc_33_097 to jgc_33_101], taken on 4 January 1953, show the site of Brighton’s new South Woodingdean Council House Estate, as it was before development started. The somewhat derelict bungalows shown were mostly built before 1928, before the area was absorbed into the Brighton Borough and, therefore, not subject to the Borough byelaws. jgc_33_098

2019: This is the view today, looking south-west from the unadopted Norton Drive. The other photos taken on 4 January 1953 can be found on these pages – Old Parish Lane (jgc_33_097), Rudyard Road (jgc_33_099), ?? (jgc_33_100) and Crescent Drive South (jgc_33_101).  (Photographer: Ron Fitton)
