No dates can be attributed to these two photographs, but almost certainly they date from the year 1902. In this one the summer crowd are watching the Beaconsfield car make the turn form Viaduct Road into the Circus en route for Beaconsfield Road, where it then terminated at Stanford Avenue. In the lower photograph can be seen some track being laid in London Road. This was authorised by the Brighton Corporation Act, 1902, confirmed by an act of Parliament dated 8 August 1902, the line being opened in 1903. Note Henry Longhurst’s house at the corner of New England Road.
