WEST BLATCHINGTON

The Brighton Herald photographer Mr R. Herrick took this photograph in September 1957. His telescopic lens has produced a grotesque effect, because the Co-operative Bakery in Portland Road pops up just behind Blatchington Church, while the sinister object in the background is the feeder of the new gas works beyond the canal. However, it provides a good view of the final block of flats being built on what used to be known as Parson’s Field. Years ago this was Glebe land and the farmer rented the field from the Vicar of St Peters Church, Brighton.
