More about this scene
In late Victorian times the town expanded south-west. These artisan terraces still line the Ford Road, their view terminated by the Roman Catholic cathedral of St Philip Neri, giving the town on its ridge a distinctly French character in distant views. In fact, the cathedral is Victorian, dating from the 1870s and in French Gothic style, complete with a characteristically French fleche or crossing spirelet. Also Victorian, of course, is the town gas works, fed coking coal from river barges, whose gasometer can be seen beyond the terraces, now long gone. Francis Frith's Sussex A Century Ago
