This street was named after the nearby New England farm, as was Boston Street, Boston at that time being the capital of New England, U.S.A.
Mr Daniel Friend, a man who projected many building schemes in Brighton in the mid-19c, bought the land on which these two streets were built. from a Mr Langridge, Clerk of the Peace for Sussex.
This street was demolished in 1958, three years later.
This photograph was taken on the same day as previous and looks south to St Bart’s church. Elder Street was separated from New England Street, by narrow Elder Row, shown overleaf. The name was derived from the elder trees, which grew here earlier in the century.
