SOUTH HEIGHTON
Old and new comparative views
By Andy Gilbert
An old postcard popped up on the Memories of East Sussex Facebook page that I thought I'd share here.
It shows part of South Heighton, looking along Heighton Road towards the Hampden Arms. There's no date on the card, but I'm guessing late 19th or early 20th century.
The second photo is as close as I could get to the same angle, and has been suitably 'aged'. As you can see, the buildings are still there, though there are now 'new' bungalows along the right hand side of the road as we see it. What is remarkable is just how much those trees have grown at the right, completely hiding the cottages.
South Heighton, 1900?
