The road has been blocked off to prevent it becoming a rat run for those avoiding the traffic lights at the A2023 and A270 junction. Orchard Road is the northern boundary of a small estate that was built in the 1920s on the site of a former apple orchard, a few trees did survive in the back gardens of the new houses.

New development built on the former Alliance and Leicester site which itself was built in 1967 before the company moved to Leicester in 1993 and sold the site for development. At one point the site was suggested as the place to build the new football ground for Brighton & Hove Albion but by the time of the government enquiry plans had already been drawn up to build new offices and homes which were opened in the last couple of years. Orchard House faces out onto Orchard Road along with March House next door, the rest of the site is taken up by new offices for Legal & General.

The buildings are new but the school is quite old, having opened in 1879 on Portland Road. However, the school became cramped and unable to expand so moved to this site in 1989 its old main building becoming a nursery. Viewed from the one way access road that takes you in via Eridge Road and out onto Nevill Avenue to the south.

I wonder if the estate agent selling one of the houses opposite will promote the off road parking facility. This part of Nevill Road was originally an ancient east-west droveway that followed the Downs through the then small villages of Preston and West Blatchington. Nevill Road was named in 1928 and built up when Hove corporation took over the running of the former parish of West Blatchington, with many of the houses built in the late 1930s. Taken from the corner of Eridge Road the land drops into what was once Goldstone Bottom behind the houses.

Long road connecting Old Shoreham Road, the A270, with King George VI Avenue, the A2038, and consequently has been known to have been a bit of a rat run though this has lessened since the building of the bypass. As part of the deal in buying the land for Hove Park, the Nevill family had an option to develop what was soon known as Goldstone Crescent being marked as such on 1911 map. However, development was taken up until the 1920s and most of the length of road had been built upon by the end of the 1930s.

Viewed from the junction with Woodland Drive and having followed the eastern side of what was once Goldstone Bottom it now descends to run along the former valley floor for the rest of its course. The path on the right is the start of a bridleway that goes to Red Hill and Dyke Road.

Begins at Nevill Road, the A2023, then dips into what was once Goldstone Bottom before ascending the slopes of Red Hill to its final destination Dyke Road. Very much a rat run along what is one of the more upmarket areas of the city. This is the section that forms the boundary with Hove Park which is beyond the trees to the right and heads towards the crossroads with Goldstone Crescent. Started developing in the late 1930s and again in the 1940s after the war.

Category: Museum / Heritage Centre

Opened in 1866 as a waterworks when it was discovered that the earth beneath the Goldstone valley kept large areas of water. It was extended a decade later when another steam engine was added and formally opened in 1884 when the cooling pond and new reservoir were added. It closed in 1971 but was saved from demolition by Jonathan Minns and began building up a collection of engineering artifacts and was opened as a museum in 1976. The museum has lived a charmed life surviving financial crises in 1982 and 2000 and reliant on a quite literally last minute saviour in 2006 when businessman Mike Holland raised the £3m pound needed to keep the collection together 25 minutes before they were due to be auctioned in several lots. The museum is currently closed whilst new plans for the future are implemented but it will reopen.
