The photograph shows the demolition of houses on the south side of Hereford Street, with the empty houses in Essex Place awaiting removal.
The year would be either 1927 or 1928. Note the small basement rooms of the Hereford Street houses and the confined space between the two streets.
On the left can be seen some of the newly built Council houses. These were built cheaply in 1925/ 1926 at a time of financial stringency and are among the poorest houses ever built for Brighton Corporation.
