ROBERTSON ROAD

Two photographs of what was popularly known as the Dogs home, at the corner of Robertson Road and South Road. This was founded by two of the Misses Gregory of Withdean Lodge in the London Road in 1884. It was then known as The Sussex Temporary Home for Lost and Starving Dogs and the original building was then almost at the edge of open country.
The later building to the south dates from 1939. By then the premises had been taken over by the National Canine League but as long ago as 1981 it was announced by the league that they were seeking a site for larger and more modern premises. Accordingly I had these photographs taken on 5 April 1981 though the buildings did not come down until 1992.
