Isaac Lyon Goldsmid was given permission by William IV to name his development on the Wick estate after the king's consort, Queen Adelaide. Designed c1830 by Decimus Burton (1800-1881) and otiginally formally called Queen Adelaide Crescent. Houses remained unfinished or unoccupied, according to street directories, until the 1860s.1. Originally known as Queen Adelaide Crescent. Numbering is consecutive from the south east corner. Unbelievably in retrospect, Hove Town Council considered granting planning permission in 1945 to demolish this crescent and Brunswick Square/Brunswick Terrace and build large blocks of flats but this was never carried out because of a national outcry. 1-19 are Grade II* listed2, as are the walls, ramps and stairways at the south front of the terrace3. 10 lampposts and the retaining wall and stairways at the south of the terrace are Grade II listed4. 2, 7,9 and 13-19 were 'unoccupied or unfinished' in Fo1856. 3 was the residence of Rear-Admiral Sir Richard Grant in his final years. 8 was where Margaret Powell began as a kitchen maid in 1922. 12, 15-19 were 'unoccupied or unfinished' in Fo1859. —Here is Palmeira Square. 20-38 are Grade II* listed5. 20-21 were converted to flats by 1923. 21 was the residence of Admiral of the Fleet Thomas Maitland, 11th Earl of Lauderdale (1803-1878) in 1864. 22, 26-33 were 'unoccupied or unfinished' in Fo1859. 27 was the residence of Sir William Alexander Maxwell bart (1793-1865)7 from c1863, who died here. It was then a residence of Baron George De Worms from 1877 until his death in 1912. 34 was a residence of Sir Peter Hesketh-Fleetwood in 1864. 35 was a residence of Lily, Duchess of Marlborough, in 1908 and of Lord Marcus Talbot de la Poer Beresford, son of the 4th Marquess of Waterford and the duchess's step-son by her third marriage, at the time he ran the stables of the Prince of Wales, later Edward VII, and then of George V from 1890 to 1922. 36 'unoccupied or unfinished' in Fo1859. It was occupied in October 1862 by the Duchess and Princess Mary of Cambridge, wife and daughter of Prince George, a cousin of Queen Victoria. 5 Adelaide Court was the residence of Sir Herbert Henniker-Heaton in 1949. Retaining wall to south side of gardens in front of the crescent is Grade II listed6. †The Antheum, a glass and iron conservatory designed by Henry Phillips and Amon Henry Wilds, occupied this site until its collapse the day before its opening when the internal scaffolding was removed. The site was not cleared for the next 30 years. Adelaide Crescent Gardens were laid out by 1870. They are on the B&H local list.  Adelaide Crescent appears in Penny Points to Paradise (1950) and Me Without You (2001). |

| Aldrington | Always sparsely populated, the parish was deserted from the mid 18th century to the early 19th. The 1841 census shows only one resident (Michael Maynard, gate keeper); the population doubled by 1851 (James Gatten, toll collector, and his wife Mary). Revitalisation began when the grid of streets between Brunswick Town and the boundary with Portslade was mostly laid out in the early 1880s, the earliest planning application being dated 18 December 1880. In June 1878 a contract for concrete sewers was awarded to Hitchcock at a tender price of £1,4001. A tender of £2,690 for the construction of sewers of brick and concrete was accepted from John Harrison in December 1880; Arthur Lewis was the supervising engineer for the estate2. Land south of the LB&SCR railway line and on the eastern boundary of the parish measuring 24 acres, 3 rods, 30 poles was sold by the Sackville estate on 8 August 1882 to George Gallard, Joseph Harris Stretton, Evan Vaughan and William John Williams, who partitioned the land on 9 August 1882. Gallard sold his share to Vaughan on 11 August 1882. Vaughan took out several mortgages but absconded in July 1885. The mortgagees conveyed one of the pieces to Rev George William Kendall on 6 February 1893 for £1,000. Kendal Road, Lennox Road, Payne Avenue, Ruskin Road and Stoneham Road were built on the land. Aldrington was absorbed into Hove on 2 May or 26 September 1893. |

A short road created to give access when Varndean Gardens and Withdean Crescent were laid out on either side of Withdean Hall. Withdean(e) Hall, one of the few large Victorian houses along London Road still standing, was built in 1861 on a plot measuring 500ft by 700ft, leased from Dame Eliza Ogle for £6,100. Withdean Hall, 'in which he resided at the time of his death, was built by him without the assistance of an architect or even a clerk of the works. It affords a good illustration of what may be effected by the local materials, 'snapped [sic] flints", combined with facings and elaborate ornament of brickwork, very singular window-frames, lofty chimneys and a parti-coloured roof. A magnificent conservatory is attached.'3. From 1875 it was the residence of Rt Hon Sir Francis Mowatt2 and his family, including for much of the time his Estonian stepson Count Eric Stenbock. The overall 14.5-acre site, part freehold and part with a 51-year lease at £61 a year ground rent, was sold for £4,500 on 30 April 19061. It became Withdean Hall Preparatory School for Boys in 1931 until 1937. It is now converted to flats. |
