This dairy farm was operated by the Chate family and stood on the north site of Richmond Street, a site now occupied by Chates Farm Court. Churns of milk can be seen in the two carts.

Comments about this page

My mothers brother, Mr Bill Howard and his family lived in the house shown which was No. 34 Richmond Street. I remember visiting it many times in the 1940s and 50s. We would stand near the top of the steps and be able to see right across to Brighton Station, and see the traffic lights at Preston Circus. Unfortunately, the farm yard area shown in the photo was derelict by then. The wonderful view is now obscured by two tower blocks of flats. To the left of the photo was a bungalow where old Mrs Chate used to live.
