seeking someone with knowledge of Brighton

This photograph collection also mentions Preston Farm, better known as Manor Farm, which began at the top of Lovers Walk and was limited when the villas were built in Preston Road in the 1870's, but still continued to exist.  I wonder if your farm photographs are of this?

Wow, thank you Julie.

I found mention here of another windmill in Brighton.  There may have been a lot at one time, I don't know.  The only ones that I know about that are still standing are Rottingdean, Hassocks and one in Hove.
It says "...houses on Belton Road (Round Hill, Brighton) occupy the site of a former windmill, whose bricks were reclaimed and used for the houses"

The last photo posted, the donkey and cart with man and boy standing with them, looks like Hurstpierpoint to me. The houses seem like some along Cuckfield Road, Hurstpierpoint.

Jo thanks, thats great I sort of hoped it was Hurstpierpoint.

Going back to Windmills, sadly that doesn't look like mine.  Yes good idea the Argus is worth a try.
Here are 2 pictures, they may well be the same windmill from different angles.  I have seen so many windmill pictures recently am getting confused.

Maybe the Patcham Windmill, there is a photograph of it towards the end of this article.  It looks very much like your windmill.

That's a very helpful link thanks Julie.  Yes I think it looks like Patcham.
