PAYNE TERRACE, ROEDALE ROAD.

Roedale Road

Neighbourhood:
Hollingdean
1902
1915

James Gray: Looking across what was then called the Ash yard and Corporation Stone Works to the extensive Hollingdean Allotments. Year unknown, but thought to be about 1902. Workmen are engaged in laying railway lines to connect the Yard with the Brighton – Lewes line. To the left is the entrance to Roedale Road and the Hollingbury Hotel and the line of Upper Hollingdean Road can easily be traced. jgc_20_086 

James Gray: Without the caption, most people would find it difficult to say where these houses are. Built in 1905, and named Payne Terrace after the builder Mr Payne, who lived at No 2, these were eight small flats, and are still to be found in Roedale Road, just above Hollingdean Street. In 1915, when the photograph was taken, the only other houses to the north were those seen, which is Hollingbury Place. For the corner house of that road, see overleaf. The track behind the terrace is now Dudley Road, and the track in the foreground, Hollingdean Terrace. Serious development of these roads started in the 1920s. jgc_20_106

James Gray: This photograph of 1929, shows the building of the last house, 101, on the west side. In the distance beyond Hollingbury Place, the site of present day Hertford Road, then Harrington Farm.  jgc_20_144

2018: The houses in Roedale Road are still recognisable but the rooflines are now cluttered with TV aerials and the road itself full of parked cars. (Photographer: Andrew Renaut)
