Two photographs of Dunford House, Eastern Road, taken on 17 May 1970. This large house stood between Walpole Road and Upper Abbey Road (right). Little is known of its early history or when it was built, but for most of its life it was owned y Brighton College. For many years it was used for boarders. In April 1970, it was sold by the College and later demolished. Sadly, during the demolition work, part of the old flint wall in Upper Abbey Road collapsed on to the pavement killing an elderly woman pedestrian. Kemp Town Housing Association later built flats for the elderly on this site.
