James Gray: Much of the large open countryside seen in these two photographs is now Withdean Stadium – note the railway line and the bridge over Tongdean Lane at the far right. In the 1900s this was the playing field of the Brighton and Hove Grammar School. These photographs of the Edwardian period show competitors and relatives at two of the school sports, years unknown. One wonders how many of these young lads survived the later 1914-18 war? Beyond the trees in this photograph, note the extensive Valley Drive and Redhill Drive district. jgc_34_160
