By its Act of 1927, Brighton Corporation considerably enlarged the boundaries of the borough, thereby assuming administrative control of large tracts of land previously purchased. The Northern boundary, which had previously crossed London Road by Clermont Road, was extended some 3 miles to a point about a mile North of Patcham village. These pylons were there set up to commemorate the extension of the borough and the foundation stones were laid on 30 may 1928, by the Duke and Duchess of York (later, King George V1th and Queen Elizabeth).
This photograph shows the pylons under construction and provides a good view of the recently widened London Road. Note the earth bank on the left beyond the pylons.
