This view across the valley from the cricket ground in 1933. The vast tract of land known as the East Brighton estate was acquired by the Brighton Corporation, about 1912, though it was not until 1924 that part of it was laid out as East Brighton Park. On the left can be seen Whitehawk Crescent and Hervey Road, built some three years earlier, while beyond, the path running diagonally towards the Race hill is the present Manor Hill. Further right is Whitehawk Road leading to the school, opened by Sir Herbert Carden on 12 May 1933, and in front of the school, Whitehawk Avenue. In the foreground, running past the Pavilion, is the road leading to the Camping Site, in Sheepcote Valley.
