Mile Oak

Map 1937

MAP OF LAYOUT AS ORIGINALLY INTENDED

Layout as attached to the Title Deeds of the Paddocks Estate at Portslade in the County of Sussex dated 1934

You will note that the upper end of Stanley Avenue and Chrisdory Road were not shown on this map..

The stables are where the shops now stand.

We believe that the ground that Chrisdory Road and the upper end of Stanley Avenue were built on belonged to Mr. Painter

and was known as the Kennels. Hence the reason it is not shown on this map.

 It is understood that Chrisdory Road was named after Mr. Painters children – Christopher and 
Dorothy. 

Chrisdory Road was briefly known as The Kennels
