This is a photograph of Lower Bevendean Farm, or Heath Hill Farm as it was often called, about 1900, taken from the high ground where Auckland Drive is now. At this period the farm was outside the Borough boundaries and was quite remote from Brighton though it could be seen from the Race Hill. Even after the building of the South Moulsecombe council estate, half a mile separated the farm from the nearest houses.
In 1947 the farm was acquired by Brighton Corporation for rebuilding and the Bevendean estate was laid out in the following years.
