The stretch of road between Carlisle Road and Walsingham Road was originally built as Walsingham Terrace and is now part of Kingsway. The mishmash of original and modern buildings side-by-side is typical of this part of Hove.

I have just discovered from the 1911 Census that my maternal grandmother, Isobel Rosa Best is shown as a general domestic servant at No1 Walsingham Terrace. She was then 15 years old but was born in Harleston Norfolk. I have yet to find out what brought her to Hove at such a young age. The other residents were Emily Dickerson (80) a widow; Emmeline Frederica Bernard (45) her daughter with her husband John Bernard (47); Lily Allcorn (29), Jane Wedge (24), Matilda Huggett (37) and Hellen Goble (20) also all servants. 3 upstairs, 5 downstairs!
