NEW STEINE

New Steine

James Gray: East side of New Steine. Additional Information: Photographs by Edward Fox? jgc_06_034

2020: The buildings surrounding the New Steine are all Grade II listed and outwardly largely unchanged. Most have been now converted into flats or hotels. The building at the far end, to the east, previously the New Steine Hotel, has been converted into flats and renamed New Steine Mansions. There is still a green space in the centre, surrounded by railings, but access is no longer limited to residents only as it was originally. (Photographer: David Sears)

James Gray: New Steine 1905. It was then just over 100 years old, having been laid out at the close of the 18th century. The two large houses facing the sea were respectively Devonshire House and New Steine Hotel. jgc_06_016

James Gray: West side of the New Steine. All three photographs [see also jgc_06_034 above and 035 on the Marine Parade (1) page] most likely were taken in 1870 or even a year or two earlier. Additional Information: Photographs by Edward Fox? jgc_06_033

James Gray: This photograph from Marine Parade was taken in 1870 and shows the Steine as little different from today except for the removal of the railings. Note the large Devonshire House, facing down the Steine, from the corner of Devonshire Place. Additional Information: Railings now restored. jgc_06_079

2020: Devonshire House (now Devonshire Mansions) and the former New Steine Hotel (now New Steine Mansions) have both been converted into flats. In 2020 a new New Steine Hotel opened at Nos 10-11. The main addition to the skyline is the 13-storey tower block behind the old buildings. This is Tyson Place, which has a blue plaque to commemorate the life of Doreen Valiente, a modern-day witch, who lived there. She died in 1999, aged 77. (Photographer: David Sears)
