h) RED BRICK:

From the 1890s to the 1920s large areas of red-brick housing were erected, particularly in Preston. Fine examples, often with decorated gables, may be seen at Beaconsfield Villas; Compton Road; Ditchling Road; Edburton Avenue; Hollingbury Park Avenue; Inwood Crescent; Queen's Park Rise; Queen's Park Terrace; St James's Avenue; St Luke's Road; St Luke's Terrace; and Southdown Avenue. Much larger red-brick residences are found in Beaconsfield Villas; Dyke Road; Harrington Road; and Preston Park Avenue.
