THE DOWNS ESTATE

A very early photograph, probably 1920. Today the busiest corner in Woodingdean, it shows the junction of Downs Road (now Falmer Road) with Warren Road. In the background the dirt tracks are the Ridgeway and Balsdean Road. By the wooden tub is the standpipe and tank, then one of the few sources of fresh water, from which the nearby residents fetched their water in pails.
