LAND TO THE REAR OF FIRCROFT, EFFINGHAM LODGE AND LAINE HOUSE

Behind, that is to the east of, these three houses, was a large tract of land, heavily wooded. As it was completely enclosed by the gardens of houses in London road, Varndean Road, Surrenden Road and Varndean Gardens it was virtually unknown and inaccessible to Brightonians generally, though they might have caught a glimpse of it in winter from high ground across the Withdean valley. The gardens of the three houses mentioned above ended in a high flint wall, in which were gates leading into this land. This photograph shows the stables and the roof of Laine House.
