NEIGHBOURHOOD OF THE COPSE

This fine aerial photograph of this area was taken in 1947. There had then been no building after the end of the 1939-1945 war, so all the houses seen were pre-war built. Note the vast area to the west of Woodland Avenue, later developed by Cooks, the central area of Hill Drive and Hill Brow, and beyond Hove Park the market garden land behind Goldstone Crescent. The Greyhound Stadium was opened in June 1928.
