HOVE LODGE – HOVE STREET

This was one of the oldest houses in Hove – certainly it was the oldest of the buildings remaining in Hove Street. Its exact age was unknown. It is thought to date from the end of the eighteenth century and to be contemporary with Cliff House School , photographs of which are seen on other pages. For most of the last century it was used as a private school, under a variety of proprietors and headmasters. After the sale of the southern part of its garden, and the erection of the massive Hove Lodge mansions, in 1897, its use changed to residential and then to flats. The building at the rear, seen here, was a much later extension and just an addition to the flats. Date of photographs – 31 August 1986 since when the buildings have been demolished. Sadly, in its last years it was damaged by squatters, hence the boarding up.
