Wash Road was a road of many farms: Watch-House, Mundell's, Petchey's, Benson's, Puckle's, Sellers, and Laindonponds.
One of the reasons why Robin Hood's Bay proved to be a popular haunt for artists is the picturesque cluster of red-roofed cottages perched somewhat precariously on the cliffs.
The estate belonged for many years to the Sheldon family.
On the right can be seen the public house the Ham Tap, and also Mr Elson's greengrocer shop. Outside is his delivery bicycle.
The stone gateposts of Hunter's Bar (see picture No S108224) had a second career after the toll bar was finally closed in October 1884; they were resited at the entrance to Endcliffe Park.
The Horse and Groom together with the next two buildings made way for a road; the Queens Head inn now occupies a corner of the new road - Queen Street.
Between the wars, Brighton boomed: by the mid-1930s it was packed at weekends.
Botley Station (entrance on the left of the photograph), which is approached via Mill Hill, is well outside the village. One descends to it from a road bridge.
The former toll house was demolished as part of a road-widening scheme, and access to and from West Street was blocked to traffic in the interest of safety.
Few traffic controls are in evidence at the southern end of the shopping area in about 1960.
The village of Bramber probably dates from the building of its Norman castle, since there is no evidence of a pre-Conquest settlement.
We can almost feel the peace and tranquillity typified by a road deserted apart from a solitary horse-drawn delivery cart, standing near an attractive row of brick-built thatched cottages.
Chantries were added to the original structure by the 14th Baron Greystoke, who built the first Greystoke Castle.These had painted oak screens, which were removed during the Reformation, giving the
The buildings on the left are still there, including the timber-framed building, which still has an estate agent's occupying the ground floor.
More rooftops, a passing steam train (they were being replaced by diesel- powered locomotives at this time) and the sweep of the park express progress. The bandstand has arrived.
Originally unveiled at Forgeside in 1960, this obelisk in memory of Sidney Gilchrist Thomas is now at the Blaenavon ironworks.
However, after Joseph died, it took ten years of legal wrangling before the money (£30,000) was handed over.
Greystoke Church dates from the 13th century. Chantries were added to the original structure by the 14th Baron Greystoke, who built the first Greystoke Castle.
Prior to 1935, all that would have been seen from in front of the church would have been the top of the church spire.
Originally unveiled at Forgeside in 1960, this obelisk in memory of Sidney Gilchrist Thomas is now at the Blaenavon ironworks.
Crown Hill was the setting for an unusual wager in 1936: a Grays confectioner was bet that he could not cycle backwards up the 1-in-7 road.
The church could hardly be closer to the sea. Many of the buildings can be recognised today, but they are now separated from the water in the harbour by walls supporting a road and a walkway.
The majestic sweep of the fertile fields down to the coast is also marked by the workings and spoils of man's need for the stone that is quarried from the mountain on this stretch of the coast.
A busy parade of shops with distinctive gables line the road at this point. Several prams can be seen outside, and a child rides happily on the pavement on a tricycle.
