Claremont Row (historic street)

James Gray: The reverse view of the previous photograph showing the site cleared of the seven prefabricated houses shown in a previous photograph. jgc_27_035

2018: The original photograph is of Claremont Row. Carlton Row had been demolished by 1935. This shows where Claremont Row stood before being demolished to make way for redevelopment. (Photographer: Ron Fitton)

James Gray: Looking North from Sussex Street to Ebenezer Baptist Chapel in Richmond Street, 1935. Demolished later the same year. jgc_27_028

1935
2018

James Gray: Looking south from Richmond Street to Sussex Street. The building on the right is Richmond Street School. Hemmed in between Claremont Place at the back and Claremont Street in front, it was still not by any means the worst of Brighton slums of the 1930s. jgc_27_030
