MARINE PARADE

Belgrave Place

Neighbourhood:
Kemptown
1858
2019

James Gray: Two more photographic copies [see also jgc_06_081 on the Marine Parade (1) page] of drawings by William Alfred Delamotte, dating from 1858. Much further to the east, from Eastern Terrace to Eaton Place. The focal point is Belgrave Place, with its date of building in the pediment of the central house. More to the east, the Post Office in Florence House, now the present 162 Marine Parade. jgc_06_082

2019: The original drawing includes the buildings from Eaton Terrace to Eaton Place with Belgrave Place in the centre. To photograph the same view would require a drone. The modern photograph therefore focuses on Belgrave Place which has changed very little. The cranes to the rear of the buildings are working on the redevelopment of the Royal Sussex County Hospital which started in September 2018. (Photographer: Simon Cooper)
