DAVIGDOR ROAD

A photograph of Davidor Road Schools, or, as they were first known as, East Hove Board Schools. On their front façade they bore the year of their construction but I have forgotten this and the figures do not show up on the photograph. From memory it was between 1898 and 1901 at a time when this area was very sparsely built up. It was always thought of as a superior board school, possibly because its catchment area. With the building of the present school nearby in Somerhill Road, it become redundant and for several years was used for Further Education. Photographed on 28 July 1988. Demolished soon afterwards.
