These formerly stood to the south of Kingsway, on the site of the present King Alfred. They were originally occupied by fishermen and were probably coeval with the two old flint cottages still to be seen in Hove Street. When these photographs were taken, in 1908 all seven cottages were still standing, but soon afterwards Kingsway was widened on its south side and Nos. 4-7 were removed.
The other three cottages, those nearest to the sea lingered on until 1928, when the site was finally cleared, though it was not until many years later that the King Alfred was built. In the previous photograph the fronts of 4-7 face Brighton while in this view the backs of the same cottages can be seen.
