Crescent Drive South

James Gray: These photographs [jgc_33_97 to 101], taken on 4 January 1953, show the site of Brighton’s new South Woodingdean Council House Estate, as it was before development started. The somewhat derelict bungalows shown were mostly built before 1928, before the area was absorbed into the Brighton Borough and, therefore, not subject to the Borough byelaws. jgc_33_101
