James Gray: At the time of these photographs, 1936, the cottages and farm buildings were all but destroyed, but fortunately they are distinctly shown in the two preceding photographs. There were two cottages, one known as the “upper bungalow”, a barn and another stone farm building. The present house in Tongdean Road, called Old Farm Place, indicates their approximate position. jgc_17_129

This photograph is taken more to the west of the others. It shows the track, which is now Hill Drive and also the dried up bed of the old farm pond. jgc_17_131

2018: Tongdean Road was realigned when it was developed west of Tongdean Avenue. The site of Lower Tongdean Farm lies behind the houses on the south side of Hill Drive between Downside and Deanway. The 2018 photo was taken looking in a westerly direction at the front of the detached house at 29 Tongdean Road, known as Old Farm Place. This name is shown in black lettering under the house number on the front elevation. (Photographer: Alan Hobden)
