MIDDLE ROAD, PRESTON

Middle Road

Neighbourhood:
Preston Park and Village
1951
2019

James Gray: This house is near to the top of the road on the north side. jgc_18_157

2019: 38 Middle Road now stands on the footprint of the original house. (Photographer: Jane Jordan)

1970s
2019

James Gray: This photograph shows the view at the rear and looks up Middle Road. The building seen between the white cottages on the right was for many years until 1928 the village Police Station. jgc_18_174

2019: This is the view today, looking west. In the middle distance to the left can be seen some of the modern houses of Preston Village Mews. This development replaced the old farm buildings used by Corralls Coal Merchants. (Photographer: Jane Jordan)

1967
2019

James Gray: The four houses, 40, 42, 44 and 46, Middle Road, photographed on 12 February 1967. I do not know the age of these houses, but I should imagine they were early Victorian. In late December, 1968, they are all empty and boarded up. Together with neighbouring houses in North Road they are soon to be demolished so that this small area can be redeveloped. jgc _18_195

2019: Three properties built in 1972 replace the four original houses and are now well established. (Photographer: Jane Jordan)

James Gray: This view shows the adjoining tiny house, No 38, doubtless one of the smallest houses in the whole of Brighton. jgc_18_196

2018: The footprint of this tiny house is now occupied by the garage and first floor of 36 Middle Road, one of several new buildings that replaced the old cottages on the north-west side of the road. (Photographer: Jane Jordan)
