[The Large One]

Nope.

Bugger.

 

[Couldn't Be Hyypia]

Assume the windmill is facing roughtly SW, so the road is rising to the southern end. Does that help anyone?

 

[SULLY COULDNT SHOOT]

Not the end that was originally at the top of Windmill Street?

No you've gone the wrong direction from TLO's guess.

 

[SULLY COULDNT SHOOT]

Round Hill?

 

[8ace]

Clue: a nearby pub has recently changed it's name to the same name as this road.

 

[SULLY COULDNT SHOOT]

If its not Roundhill (also known as Rose Hill or Cuttress's Mill) then is this picture 20th century?

 

[8ace]

Round Hill?

Nope, it lies to the west of all the guesses so far.

 

[SULLY COULDNT SHOOT]

Nope, it lies to the west of all the guesses so far.

So.... 20th century and in Brighton?

WEST HILL ROAD

This is the earliest of my photographs of Hodson’s Mill. The sweeps seem intact and the windmill may well still have been working. One can only guess at the year, but West Hill Road was built in the 1850’s, so I would think about 1858-1862.

WEST HILL ROAD

The last link with Hodson’s Black Mill, photographed in 1958. For nearly a century after demolition of the windmill in 1866, the solid brick base had remained, put to a variety of uses. Most recently it was builder’s offices and store. It has now been removed and replaced by a trim row of lock-up garages.

 

[8ace]

Someone else can have a go now.

 

[SULLY COULDNT SHOOT]

otherwise known as West Hill Mill... demolished 1866.

Have to say the picture I have of it looks nothing like the two you have

 

[The Large One]

Someone else can have a go now.

No, you do it...

Go on.

 

[Lord Bracknell]

Just a couple of questions, no pictures.

1. Which individual, well-known to Albion fans, once worked as an office boy in the same place as James Gray?

2. Which of NSC's photographers has just got herself a job as Co-ordinator of the forthcoming Brighton & Hove Photographic Collection, which is being pulled together by QueensPark Books, after a successful Heritage Lottery Fund application?

 

[The Large One]

Dunno.

What's now where these buildings were?

Clue: That's a park at the far end.
