HEREFORD STREET

Slum houses on the north side of the street were cleared away in 1925 in the Brighton Corporation’s first slum clearance after the end of the 1914 -18 War. A somewhat drab block of Council houses was built in 1926, but had a very short life as many were destroyed by bombs in the 1939-1945 War. Here can be seen Nos. 1-7 of these houses. Fresh houses were built on the cleared site in 1952.
