WEST BLATCHINGTON COURT, THE LAST PHASE

From the south-east. It can be seen how the last extension was built on to the earlier building. Part of the outside wall can be seen on the earlier photograph showing the kitchen and domestic quarters. In recent times the house had been occupied by tenant farmers, who farmed the neighbouring Court Farm. This was broken up for building in the late 1930’s. During the 1939-1945 War evacuees occupied it. Later on Hove Corporation, who acquired the property in 1938, let it as flats, until in 1955 it was decided to demolish the old house so that the site could be redeveloped. These four photographs were taken in August 1955.
