This is a long shot, but if anyone is living nearby are you able to take a photo?

Does it still exist? Doesn't seem to pop up on any estate agent site, for example.

Looking at Google maps it is the small dead end between Whitecross and Pelham Street.

Hi MysticBreeze

Just seen your post about 8 Redcross St.

My Grandmother, my Father and Mother all lived at No 16.
I also lived there when I was a young child, we moved from there in 1961/62.
It is now a car park.
If you go on google earth, it will take you to the spot.

Do not have many memories of the street,
 I think there was a shop on the street, I used to sit on the counter,
and the houses opposite had steps in front,
 
Did your family live on this street?
I only have two photo's taken on the street,  they are close ups and do not show what the street was like.

 If you do manage to get a pic would love a copy, if possible.

If you go to Sussex Lookups,  page 3 near the bottom.
You will find my first post.

Electoral Rolls Brighton 1950's

Kizmiaz went to the History Centre, and gave me lots of info, and with the help of other rootschatters got more info, which helped me move forward.
