INSIDE LEFT: GEORGE STREET, HOVE, 1914 ..................................................................................... The photographer who took this picture was standing bang in the middle of George Street in Hove, in order to achieve perfectly symmetrical perspective, with the Cliftonville Press Printers (then at 2 Goldstone Villas) visible at the vanishing point. The building the printers was housed in was later demolished, and replaced with the red-brick one, with its classical façade, that now houses Peacocks. George Street was then, as it is now, one of Hove’s principal shopping streets, with every building selling wares: there was a gramophone store, a Freeman Hardy Willis shoe shop, a Singer sewing machine outlet, and countless other shops, including a butcher’s, a confectioner’s, a fishmonger’s and a funeral parlour. Hove Volunteer Fire Brigade was based at No. 85 (on the left of this picture), the Hove Electric Empire cinema was at 77. It was not initially intended as such: the street was built in the 1850s, as two terraces of two-up-two-down residences, part of the second big development in Hove – after Brunswick Town – called ‘Cliftonville’. They were by far the smallest plots in the development, designed to house a less well-off resident than the posher streets around them, and were often extremely crowded: in the 1861 census no fewer than 17 people were listed as living in number 18. One by one, the ground floors were converted into shops: the last purely residential household to hold out, number 19, finally became a baker’s in 1925. There wasn’t much traffic in those days – though note the motorbike and sidecar on the right of the picture – and, of course, there is no traffic during the day today. The pedestrianisation of George Street was long mooted and highly controversial, with many shopkeepers adamant that it would damage their trade: it was finally implemented – at first as a trial – on 19th March 1998. Back to 1914, and we hope the photographer was minding his back: from the wires attached to the lamppost we can see that the picture was taken in September, during the trials of the trackless trolleybuses which took place in that month. The trials were not deemed a success, and the wires were soon taken down. AL This picture comes courtesy of the Regency Society, who hold the James Gray Collection archive of old photos of <strong>Brighton</strong> and environs.
