As is the case with Mulgrave Road, a few modern blocks of flats replace the earlier houses.
Since the photograph was taken, houses have been built to the right, and a block of flats to the left. The bridge now has a metal mesh balustrade, but the cast-iron spans are unchanged.
The south side of Windsor Road lay undeveloped until c1880 with the construction of the block seen here beyond the roundabout.
The Otter pub, a 1930s Surrey vernacular- style road-house, has now been transformed into a farmyard complex: the upper floor of the main block has been white clap-boarded and given a tiled lean-to
The sloping site was successfully incorporated into the design of the blocks of flats, allowing for garages to be unobtrusively accessible.
The 1870s terrace on the left now houses Paiges Bar in the left-hand part, while the 1850s block beyond has been demolished.
The photograph shows two parallel late 16th-century gabled blocks with large mullion and transom windows. Some fragments of the building may date to the ownership of the Greys.
offering morning coffee, luncheons, teas and dinners, and architecturally no great shakes; it has since been heavily modernised, and is now Heathside, a family restaurant, with a large block
The almost new Vauxhall Wyvern E model is parked nearly opposite Collins, the antique dealer, and adjacent to the rather modern houses behind the slag-block wall.
Only at the far end, at the Tavistock Street junction, have any Victorian houses been lost - they were replaced by a four-storey block of flats in the 1970s.
The gardens and the houses on the left have been replaced by a routine 1960s block, Kingsbury House.
Beyond is now 'Fred's Folly', the 1960s County Council office tower block, a landmark for miles around.
This 15th-century church built of squared ragstone blocks has a tower 75 feet high standing amid a number of chestnut trees.
On the left, the old Turkish Baths (the 1890s building with the columns to the top floor) and the florid News Theatre beyond were demolished in 1962 to make way for an eight-storey office block.
Angel Lane is seen on the far right; at the top of the block flanking it once stood the Fleece Inn, and at the lower corner was situated the Angel Inn.
On the right is Grange Parade; the right block was built in 1934, the left in 1935.
Some of the larger trees in the gardens survived, although most are now in the grounds of the blocks of flats that replaced many of the Victorian villas.
The building to the left is K Block; it housed the greater part of the marketing and sales functions for the company.
At this end of the road the houses have been spared demolition by developers, and have not been replaced by blocks of flats.
In fact, its west end, seen in the photograph, gives the false impression that the grand nave arch has been blocked following the demolition of more elaborate fabric.
The tower and spire survive today, but are dwarfed by 1980s and 1990s office blocks. Francis Frith's Sussex A Century Ago
The topmost block of seven houses is appropriately named Elbow Yard. St Michael's Church, demolished in the next century to make room for a car park, can be seen in the centre.
On the corner of Station Road is a three-storey block of Victorian shops. The gable beyond is Thurlows the draper's in Friars Street.
On the opposite side of the road is the Victoria Hotel and the block of shops with Boyles Boots, which has since been demolished.
