CIRCUS COURT

Circus Court (historic street)

1928
2019

James Gray: Halfway along Circus Street could be found Circus Court, running east to the back of Carlton Court. This was another example of how early Brighton builders crammed a number of houses into a very small area. Seven cottages on the north side faced four others across a narrow roadway until 1934 when they were demolished as part of the Carlton Hill slum clearance scheme. jgc_24_056

2019: This area, after being part of the Municipal Market during the years 1937-2015, will now be absorbed into the new Circus Street Quarter currently being built on the site. (Photographer: Ruthie Martin)
