Description: Queens Road. Taken from the junction of Church Street and Queens Road. Queens Road was constructed in 1845 to connect Brighton town centre with the newly opened Brighton station. Parts of the route were already occupied, to the south of this junction was Air Street a small slum area part of which still links Queens Road to Queens Square, whilst to the north was Windsor Terrace constructed in the 1830s. Unlike the slums Windsor Terrace still survives today as does the original walkway originally built next to a graveyard part of which survives to the right of the road today and is now a small park. The new road was built at a higher elevation than the old graveyard but lower than Windsor Terrace. The white building in the middle of the terrace is a Freemasons Lodge constructed in the 1920s.
