Suburban development on the Stanford Estate in Brighton and Hove in Sussex c1869-1939
By SUE BERRY
Two generations of the Stanford family built up an estate and a further two then lived off the proceeds of its sale for housing. Between 1869 and the late 1930s, this estate developed as a substantial area of Victorian, Edwardian and Interwar housing aimed largely at the 'middle classes' of Brighton and Hove; most sold steadily and have survived. The estate made the mistake of insisting on huge houses beside the sea in Hove, believing that there was a very profitable market for them. That scheme proved hard to sell and a considerable number have been demolished. This brief study examines the development of this thousand-acre estate and the disposition of the profits.
