Street Address by P. Best 28 October 2009I can’t remember If I have asked this before, could anyone tell me where New York Street, was in 1901, please thanks Pauline8 replies Re: Street Address by pat 28 October 2009It was near New England Street, check out the link above. Re: Street Address by P. Best 28 October 2009thank you Re: Street Address by Andy Grant 28 October 2009Hi Pete, New York Street was the original name for the part of New England Street that ran from York Hill to Ann Street. Most of the area has been obliterated by extensions to the railway yards, which in turn gave way for car parking. Regards Andy Re: Street Address by KAZ 28 October 2009My Gt,Grandfather at one time lived in New York Street.I would love to have seen the old Brighton we speak about on here through the eyes of an adult,instead of the eyes of the child I once was. I hate all this change,but at the same time realising change had to come.I expect alot of us still enjoy reading and learning about our Grandparents and Gt,Grandparents lives,and what life was like in those days.So very hard for so many.Last week I walked down the road, Hereford Street brighton where my GT,Gt,Grandmother was born,at least thats still there although not the house/or number.I enjoyed my day thinking about this lady and imagining her life I have discovered through my research. Re: Street Address by Tim Sargeant 28 October 2009If any of you like to email me Tim (at) permanden. co .uk I can send a copy of an old street plan showing New York St. Regards. TCS. Re: Street Address by David Ward 28 October 2009Tim – I wonder if your map is the same as the fairly large scale and high definition 1900 map I have? It clearly shows New York Street running from New England Street to Ann Street roughly opposite the junction with Fleet Street. As a matter of interest there was a very narrow street running below Fleet Street and between it and Belmont Street. I assume that has long since gone. Anyone know what that was called? I am not convinced that New York Street was obliterated by the spread of the railway yard as it is too far east of the line running to the goods shed and it misses the Brighton Railway Works entirely. If anyone wants a copy of the 1900 map I will be happy to oblige. Despite the warnings in recent posts by the editor you would have to provide an e-mail address but you could use “at” instead of the normal “at sign” to protect from spamming and phishing. Re: Street Address by Tim Sargeant 28 October 2009Sorry, that one isn’t shown on my map. It must have been pretty ‘thin’ as they say up north. TCS. Re: Street Address by Andy Grant 29 October 2009Hi David, The narrow lane you are referring to was Belmont Place. New York Street formed the periphery of the Railway Works and all of the streets to the west of it were demolished for sidings . Modern New England Street was originally thee previous roads, being New England Street, New York Street and Fleet Street. This last section was actually the gardens of the houses between Fleet Street and Belmont Place, retaining the name Fleet Street for a while. To the best of my knowledge, there is now nothing left of any building that was in New York Street or Fleet Street, although the houses to the east of both roads survived until more recent redevelopment. I hope this clarifies the situation. Regards Andy Add your replyHiddenAdd your title Add your wordsWould you like to add some images (optional)?
