Coldean history
Coldean was originally a deep, steep-sided, undeveloped valley split between the parishes of Falmer and Stanmer, with Hollingbury to the west, Wild Park and the 584-foot (178 m) Hollingburge Hill to the southwest. Residential development began in 1934, when the Parkside estate was laid out by private developers in the southwest corner of the valley. The area was beyond the Brighton Corporation borough boundary in Falmer parish. In 1950, the Corporation bought the rest of the land; the whole valley was brought within the Borough of Brighton.
