It is hard to realise that these two photographs were taken on what is now Neville Road. they show the old narrow lane, which ran from the top of Sackville Road to the hamlet of West Blatchington and thence by Toads Hole Road, to the Dyke Road.
In this photograph the trap is travelling south but the view is northwards towards the Three-Cornered Copse which is plainly seen on the hill beyond. The position of the trap is about opposite the top entrance to the Greyhound Stadium Car Park. On the left are the wheatfields of Court Farm, the land to the right of the road being part of J.J. Clarkâs Goldstone Farm.
Both photographs were dated 25 July 1892. The road remained in the rural state for another 40 years, for it was not until 1932 that the present wide Nevill Road was constructed.
