Photograph taken from Manor Road, across the playing fields, to the six storey flats, then in course of building October 1957.
On land at one time owned by the Marquis of Bristol, have been built nearly 400 flats from Brighton Corporation, the contractors being George Wimpey & Co., Ltd. There was quite a controversy on the Council before the decision to build them 6 storeys in height was taken. The Mayor Alderman C. Tyson opened the first block, on 16 January 1958.
