p) ROBERT STREET : Now dominated by the premises of the Evening Argus, but there remains an impressive terrace on the opposite side. Breaking the line of the terrace at nos.16-17 is the former Jireh Chapel, opened in 1846 as a Calvinistic chapel. The second floor was added at a later date, but it closed in about 1902 and became a furniture warehouse; it is due to be converted to flats. {62,123}
q) SYDNEY STREET : A busy shopping street, developed around 1850. No.36 has Ionic pilasters.
r) TIDY STREET : Dating from around 1840, the terraced nos.1-27 and 31-52 are included on the council’s local list; nos.7-27, 30-33 and 38-46 have Ionic pilasters and fanlight doorways. {83}

My late husband’s relatives lived at no 38 Tidy Street 1861. Does anyone living at no 38 have any information as to past residents please?
Thomas Cox with his wife Mary, children Mary Ellen ‘Nellie’ and Arthur Richard, lodgers Arthur Twaitts, Mary Hand and George P Grover (1871) lived at number 39 in the 1871 and 1881 census. Thomas was a coachman, specifically in 1884 an Undertakers Coachman. He had been born in Buxted, Mary in Charlwood, Surrey.
I live here!
