On this page, and the two preceding ones, are photographs of six consecutive houses, 77-87, on the east side of Milner Road. The photographer himself has written in the date when he took them, 26 September 1911 and it can be seen that there is evident and serious dilapidation. This is another of the Boer War streets, being named after Alfred, Lord Milner, and onetime High Commissioner for South Africa, and the first houses were erected in 1904. The houses shown were not among these and were probably not built until 1908 or 1909 and yet within two or three years were empty and in bad repair. It seems likely that a professional photographer, Mr A.H. Corder, of 36 Mount Zion Place, took the photographs for Brighton Corporation, but he must have died many years ago.
