SCENES IN EASTERN BRIGHTON

Arundel Road

Neighbourhood:
Eastern Brighton
1914-18
c1914-18

James Gray: These two photographs [see also jgc_23_082] were definitely of the 1914-18 War, though again the exact year is unknown. This photograph shows wounded soldiers in hospital in the requisitioned St Mark’s School. jgc_23_080

James Gray: In this photograph, the soldiers are being taken for a drive in a carriage doubtless owned by one of the wealthy residents of Kemp Town. Additional Information: frockcoat. jgc_23_082

1956
2019

James Gray: The modern photograph, 1956, shows later alterations on houses to the west. Arundel House, 13 Arundel Terrace, dates from 1872. At that time the Terrace was less than 50 years old having been built between 1826 and 1834. Arundel House, the first building to be completed, was originally known as the Bush Inn, after William Bush its first Licensee. By 1856, however, the Inn had been transferred to its present position at the corner of Arundel Road and Arundel Place, and at the time of this photograph Arundel House was occupied as a girls’ school. jgc_06_129

2019: Arundel Terrace today appears to be in good condition and all buildings are painted white. (Photographer: Simon Cooper)
