Braeside Avenue

James Gray: These two photographs of the same lane provide an interesting contrast. In 1910, the date of this [jgc_35_155] earlier photograph, Horsdean Lane was way out in the country at the back of Patcham Village. In 1933 and subsequent years, Fergusons, the builders, laid out Mackie Avenue and the neighbouring roads, until Braeside Avenue actually backed onto the hedgerows of the old lane. Later Brighton Corporation laid out Horsdean Park on the other side of the lane. jgc_35_155 and 156
