James Gray: Brighton lost very little when this narrow passage and houses were demolished in 1958. Looking North from York Hill towards the Viaduct. jgc_10a_165
2018: This is now the view looking north from roughly the same place in York Hill. New England House, an eight storey purpose-built industrial business centre opened in 1963, now spans the area that contained Elder Row and Elder Street, leaving just Elder Place surviving. New England House is an important creative hub in the city, home to many artists and designers. (Photographer: Bill Kocher)
James Gray: Looking down what was left of York Hill into London Road in 1962. The clearances were some of the last of the comprehensive Boston Street redevelopment and the north side of York Hill had already gone. At the foot, in London Road, are the backs of the Branch Tavern (right) and (left) the backs of 54/55, which can be seen were first built as two semi-detached private houses, later converted for business use. jgc_10a_180
2018: View of York Hill towards London Road from New England Street today with Elder Place running north-south in the middle of the photograph. The buildings on the right of the 1962 image have been replaced, although those to the left remain, including the eight storey New England House (see jgc_10a_165). Opposite New England House is now London Road multi-storey car park. (Photographer: Bill Kocher)
