James Gray: This photograph was taken on 17 May 1970. There were then very few building sites available in the older part of Hove. Here is one such plot. Perhaps at one time it had been part of a garden of a house in Palmeira Avenue, but in recent years it had been walled or fenced off. In mid 1971 building of a block of flats was started to cover the site. jgc_11_067
2018: The James Gray picture shows the eastern side of Salisbury Road but in 2018 there is no longer any trace of the old wall to help pinpoint the exact location. Flats have been built all along the road so the modern image just shows a typical view. (Photographer: Helen Glass)
