WHITEHAWK CRESCENT

Whitehawk Crescent

Neighbourhood:
Eastern Brighton
1976
2019

James Gray: Two photographs [jgc_23_110 and 112] of Whitehawk Crescent. This one looks down the hill towards Whitehawk Road, from the spot where the houses finished, while the next photograph looks in the opposite direction. In this [referring to jgc_23_112] photograph, just beyond the three vehicles is the entrance to Manor Way. As can be seen demolition had already commenced. jgc_23_110

2019: The demolished houses were replaced with new homes in the 1970s and 1980s. The southern (far) end of Whitehawk Crescent was radically rerouted and new cul-de-sacs created, both to increase the number of houses and to enhance the estate. (Photographer: David Jackson)

2019: This end of Whitehawk Crescent has merged into and been renamed Manor Way. Nothing remains from 1976. (Photographer: David Jackson)

1976
2019

James Gray: In this photograph, note particularly the footpath winding its way up the hill. The path virtually marked the boundary of the first development, though a few more houses to the left of the path, in Whitehawk Road, were included. Note also the top end of Hervey Road. jgc_23_111

2019: The caption reference to the ‘top end of Hervey Road’ seems to establish the location as the northern end of Whitehawk Crescent, near the top of the footpath, looking down. The stepped footpath still exists but little else, including Hervey Road, has survived. (Photographer: David Jackson)
