Photo:This is a photographic print of four cottages in Ladies Mile Road, Patcham, Brighton. It is a view of the front of these cottages, which eventually became 36-44 Ladies Mile Road. This photograph was commissioned by the Environmental Health department of Brighton Borough Council. It formed part of a visual record of areas considered for slum clearance. Unusually, these cottages were not demolished after this photograph was taken, but were extensively altered and renumbered.

Comments about this page

I remember these cottages well before restoration, they were just empty shells for many years. Nice that they survived albeit heavily altered. Barretts the Newsagents used to be across the road and I think a hardware shop which became an estate agents. Jenkins farm was just over the hill opposite Salmons and TC Starns hardware store.
