what do you mean
it's not a bad shout!There's houses on the left casting a shadow on the wall
Not if it's the top end.
The houses casting a shadow from the left say otherwise.

It was an intelligent shout, but I don't know any other smiley for 'no'.

I think it might be Wakefield Road which is off Upper Lewes Road. I seem to remember there was a big house or mansion up there that had a big wall around it . It was demolished some time in the 50's I believe although I'm not that old!

Home at Last.
I thought it was Bear Road, but showing the wall, in shadow, from the other side, where the Crematorium is situated.
Now seeing as reading this thread has been responsible for burning two rashers of bacon and nearly burning two baguettes, I have have a question.
In Queens park, walking from Tower Road, in the Dog Zone you can see a sunken set of bricks. They cover three sides of a square, and had a path to them on the 1911 Ordnance Survey map, which the Local Studies part of the Library have. Does anyone know what this building was?

Top shout that.
Thinkt his could well be it, my mum used to work at the Brighton forum ( hence why the photo looks familier) but couldn't work out if it was nearer Park Crescent or further up.
But that wasn't your argument. I was merely pointing out the wall is on the other side at the top end of bear road.
Besides, TLO has already confirmed it's not bear road.

Top bombing.
There were four big house on the corner of Ditchling Road and Upper Lewes Road which made up the Sylvan Estate, of which the wall on Wakefield Road made up the eastern part...
First, here is a view of the north entrance looking down Crescent Road, across Princes Crescent
Then the houses Sylvan Hall (demolished 1977)...
... Syvlan Lodge (demolished 1977)...
... Hill Lodge (demolished 1951)...
... and Woodfield Lodge (demolished 1951)

Before my time... definately
I wasn't arguing anything.
i was inferring from the picture shown that it wasn't Bear Road based on the shadow being cast from the left hand side of the picture. The wall may well be on the other side of the road at the top of Bear Road, but seeing as no houses are at the top of Bear Road the picture shown therefor meant that it couldn't be Bear Road which was my point.
Thought someone such as yourself would have been able to pick up on that.
P.S I already had said it was not Bear Road before TLO confirmed.
