ESSEX PLACE

It was no loss to Brighton when this dingy street was swept away in 1928/9. It was built in the 1930s and at one time contained 38 houses. Many of these were such hovels that by as long ago as 1894, 1 to 12, on the north side were demolished by Brighton Corporation. These had occupied the cleared space seen in photograph 176. Looking east from the middle of the street, towards Upper Bedford Street. Those on the right were the last houses to be removed.
