James Gray: The other road affected by the project to rebuild Hove Town Hall on the enlarged site of the old civic building. This road was started in the same year as Norton Road, 1878, and also occupied several years in the building. Being on part of the vast Stanford Estate, it took its name from Tisbury in Wiltshire, with which the Stanford family had associations. Photographed on 21 July 1968, this view shows the west side of which houses numbered 1 to 23 are to be removed. jgc_13_098

James Gray: These two photographs of 7 September 1969 (jgc_13_100 and 101) were taken during the time between the destruction of the old Town Hall and the start of the building of the new. By then, some of the houses on the west side of Tisbury Road had been removed and the cleared space was already returning to nature. jgc_13_100
