Any info on Sun Street or Arnold Street?
My great-grandfather lived on Sun Street in Brighton and it seems that the street name has been modified. It doesn’t figure on your list. What would Sun Street be named today? Thank you
Sun Street no longer exists. It used to run northwards at 10 Edward Street to Carlton Hill.
Where was Cambridge Street, my Great Grandmother lived there in 1898
Hello Terry – if you look here you will find a page about Cambridge Street.Jennifer: Website Editor
Hi, I have just found my Great Great Grandad’s son’s birth certificate and it lists their residence as 15 Dimafroce street. It could also be Dinafroce Street, which was in the parish district of St Peter’s Church. The birth cert was dated 1882. This street name no longer exists. Does anyone know what it might be called now? Thanks 🙂
I think it’s Dinapore Street that you refer to. It ran between Albion Hill and Carlton Hill, and was demolished in 1965, high rise flats were built on the site.
This is DINAPORE Street which ran between Albion Hill and Richmond St. The 1934 Kellys shows 40 properties. You do not give a name but #15 in 1934 was lived in by Gideon Goble.
Probably Dinapore Street which was in the Albion Hill area.
Susie,
You must be referring to Dinapore Street which was demolished for re-development in the 1960s. There is quite a lot about it elsewhere on this site. I have an old Brighton street plan which does show it and could email you a copy if required?
