Westdene history

---

The first part of the suburb to be developed was part of Valley Drive, on which around 30 houses were built in the “Tudorbethan” style between 1932 and 1934. In 1938, local building firm Braybon Ltd signed a contract with Brighton Corporation to develop 168 acres (68 ha) of land nearby as an extension of the Withdean estate. The Second World War intervened, and most of the building work took place in the 1950s. Westdene F.C. were established in 1983 and went out of existence in 2004.

Percy and Wagner Almshouses The Percy and Wagner Almshouses are a group of 12 almshouses in the inner-city Hanover area of the English coastal city of Brighton and Hove. The first six date from 1795 and are among the few pre-19th-century buildings left in the city. The additional houses of 1859 were provided for unmarried women. The houses were saved from demolition in the 1970s and were rebuilt instead and are still occupied.
