Guess where this is ( without looking) taken around the turn of the century

Here’s another view a little further on,with a recognisable building behind

Nevill Road Hove by the Engineerium

Here’s a view a little further on

First one - "turn of the century"? Presume you mean 1899-1900 and not 1999-2000?
Looks like maybe Arundel Castle in the background?

Second picture - my little sister lives right on the bend there on Neville Road

I’d say the first one was with the old St Joseph’s in the background?

I remember catching the special bus to Wembley in 1983 from where the Waitrose is now.

Indeed, all the pictures were of Nevill Road Hove. The first one did have St Joseph’s in the far distance . Around 1900- 1910 the road was just an unmade track out to the country.

Bevendean Hospital.. I was in there for about a week sometime in the eighties. As I recall it was a funny old place with one or twe funny old nurses.!

Today in Bevendean Road , all that’s left are the gate posts and gate house

I lived near there from birth to my early twenties, used to play unorganised football and cricket matches with other local kids in the hospital grounds.
Sometimes we would get moved on by one grumpy grounds maintenance worker.

They had a shop in Worthing as well. Bought my first clock radio from there with my first Xmas’ tips from my paper round.

Owned by Ray Ford.

I bought an expensive Atari games console there in about 81, £100? It didn’t work so I got a full refund, my knowledgeable Dad quoted consumer law
