A wonderful view looking south down Station Road, Portslade, (to the right of the view), and Boundary Road, Hove, (to the left). The building on the left, on the corner of New Church Road and Boundary Road, was what would later become Barclays Bank and the shop in the foreground, with the name "Watts" on the canopy was, I believe, a greengrocers. During my childhood the shop next to it, also with the blind down, was Giggens the bakers (later to become part of Clarks the bakers). The strange structure just beyond this, on the corner of Franklin Road and Station Road, to the right of the picture, (a police box?) was outside of what, again in my time, was Huckle's the furniture shop. Almost underneath the photographer, when he took this shot, was a twitten (a narow alleyway) that stiil leads to Vale Road and then on to the "cattle arch" under the railway line to Victoria Road, next to where the Ronuk factory used to be. This cattle arch was one of many erected when the railway was constructed to preserve ancient droveways from high on the downs to Shoreham Harbour. In the 1950's I used to walk this route every day on my way to Benfield School. Up Boundary Road / Station Road from Seaford Road, through the twitten, under the cattle arch, past the Ronuk, and up Southdown Avenue. What memories.
