CLARK’S BAKERY, NEWTOWN ROAD

Nearly 90 years after Mr J J Clarke opened his ‘bread factory’ at Goldstone Farm, West Brighton, in June 1887; the end came suddenly for these premises. In October 1976, Clarks of Hove closed down, almost abruptly. The entire range of buildings, which had extended from the original premises a long way along Newtown Road, soon became empty. As soon as it was announced that the buildings were to be demolished I had these photographs taken on November 27, 1977. This view shows the original building. Compare this with the photograph of about 1900 on a previous page. The rear view of the premises, taken from Fonthill Road.
