LEE COTTAGES / ELPHICK ROAD

Hi Laurie and Ken

I remember this area very well, as my nan and grandad lived in the house beside the cottages (87 Elphick Road). Can you remember when the cottages were demolished?

Also who are the people in the photographs?

My Nan, Mrs South, lived in Lee cottages in the 40's and 50's.  I was born in Brighton in 1951 and I can just remember playing outside but I can't remember which number she lived at.

Hello, I had some ancestors by the name of Guy living at Lower Elphick Road in the early 1900s, would anyone know of them I wonder. Would be glad to hear from you.

I was born at 8 Lee Cottages and I would love to see a picture.

My paternal great grandfather Hubbard lived at 6 Lower Elphick Road in the 1870's, then he lived in Lewes Road, then he married a Bridger and my grandfather was born at 66 Elphick Road in 1891. When he was about 10 he and his brother were put in the local childrens home (up the hill?) because his father died, his mother had younger children and she had to work as a charwoman (no benefits in those days).
