It would be no exaggeration to say that not one Brightonian in a hundred knew that these cottages existed or where they were to be found. Between 72 and 73, West Street, is a narrow passage way only three feet wide, at the far end of which, behind the houses of West Street, stood Willow Cottages from the middle of the last century until 1935.
Early Brighton builders had a passion for building little courts, hidden away behind other houses, of which this was a good example. There were three cottages, the other being out of view on the right. Date of photograph, January 1935.
