The approach from the south-east 1898. The pumping station was established here in 1865 when a shaft was sunk by the Brighton, Hove and Preston water Company. In 1873 the water undertaking was taken over by Brighton Corporation and in 1876 a second shaft was sunk and another pump installed. One pump is in each of the two buildings. The path in the foreground is there to this day, the twitten that crosses Hove Park from the Goldstone Crescent.
King’s Dairy, shown on the signboard, was ½ mile away across the valley, where the cottages still are, in the Droveway.
