A photograph, taken on 15 March 1987, showing old houses, 70/74, on the east side of the street, empty and awaiting demolition. They have since been removed. Incised in the high wall of No.70 were the words WHITE’S LIBRARY AND CARVING WORKS, a link with the Brighton of a century or more ago. Jabez White established his wood carver’s business here in the 1850s, later taking on bookselling and stationery, and the house remained in occupation of the White family until the days of the Great War. In the gap between 72 and 73 was a narrow passage that gave access to the three Willow Cottages, though the entrance had long been barred, following their removal in 1935.
