Brighton picture quiz

One more...

What's the building on the extreme left of this row?

The Tandoori in Patcham Old Village I cannot for the life of me remember the name of!

 

[Emily's Mum]

Isn't it the Cottage Tandori? In my day (when this photo was taken) it was a lovely tea shop & restaurant!

 

[Deleted User X18H]

The Elizabethan??

 

[Emily's Mum]

That's the one!

 

[Lord Bracknell]

That's Robertson Road my Lord taken I would suggest from either a Garden on The Drove or the bottom of Inwood Crescent. The Streets on the left in inclination are Scarborough Road, Kingsley Road , and Hampstead Road and not a Parking Meter in sight. My drum is not quite in this photo sadly.

It was taken in 1909 - from the allotments next to The Drove.

Allotments eh? Interesting !

 

[Lord Bracknell]

I know that hill Lower Bevendean?

 

[Deleted User X18H]

Or! Is it Portslade / Mile Oak taken from the Dyke Railway?

 

[Lord Bracknell]

Not Falmer, not Lower Bevendean. In fact ... not Brighton. But well known to many NSCers.

 

[Emily's Mum]

My money's on the original Mile Oak

 

[Lord Bracknell]

Or! Is it Portslade / Mile Oak taken from the Dyke Railway?

YESSSSS !! But I don't think the photo was taken from the railway.

This is the caption to the photo:-

...dating from the time of the Second World War, and just before – the late 1930s. At this time, apart from a cluster of houses at Mile Oak (seen in this) there was little development beyond Portslade Village. The whole of this large area was given over to agriculture, so I cannot say much about the location of the photographs, except that they all look towards the Downs. The farm buildings seen below were of the Stonery then at the far end of North road, but now demolished and built over.

 

[Emily's Mum]

Could you see that far from Foredown Tower?

 

[The Large One]

The Elizabethan??

That's the one!

Nope.

Not even close.

 

[Deleted User X18H]

Nope.

Not even close.

Is it Preston Village?

 

[The Large One]

Is it Preston Village?

No.

 

[Deleted User X18H]

Is it Brighton and Hove?

 

[The Large One]

For a clue, the wooden building in the foreground doesn't exist any more. The other four still do.

The one I'm asking about - the exterior looks pretty much the same nowadays, or if it has changed, it was very recently. And it's on a corner.

It's in Brighton.

I'm still here !
