Dean Court Road

Dean Court Road

Dean Court Road was part of a parcel of farmland purchased in 1925 for development by Charles Neville. The plots were built on over the next 30 years.

You can see from the map below that Neville’s original scheme was even more ambitious.

Following the poor development in Peacehaven he ensured that a high standard of design was made possible here by large plot sizes and mock Tudor architecture.

Welesmere Road was developed later and eventually Gorham Avenue was built on the site of the Paddocks, which was once home to the Brookside Harriers, claimed to be the best pack of hounds in the country.
