Aldrington history

There was Roman activity and settlement in the area. The name appears in the Domesday Book as Eldretune. During the High Middle Ages the fortunes of the village waned as the mouth of the River Adur moved west to Portslade.

Nineteenth century

Aldrington began to be developed from the late nineteenth century as a westward extension of Hove. The ground plan of Aldrington was set out on a grid-iron system, most unusual within England. The main artery running east–west is New Church Road, a broad and straight residential road.
