NEW COTTAGES, WEST BLATCHINGTON

Clarke Avenue

Neighbourhood:
West Blatchington
1954
2018

James Gray: View of the corner of Hangleton Road and Clarke Avenue showing the garden of 4 New Cottages. This corner is now to be rounded off and the entrance to Clarke Avenue widened in the interests of road safety at this very busy junction. jgc_36_131

2018: In April 2018 the telegraph pole has survived up on the west side of Clarke Avenue, but New Cottages were demolished in August 1955, and replaced by the current council flats in Hangleton Road. They were set at three different angles to give a better view for motorists approaching this junction. Both shots were taken from the south side of Hangleton Road, looking north-west up Clarke Avenue. All the buildings in the 1954 photo have survived, with the exception of the small one just behind the white post in the foreground. (Photographer: Alan Hobden)
