Hove
Hove was a fishing village with few people as recently as 1801. Thirty-four years later Horsfield, in his history of the county, described it as 'a mean and insignificant assemblage of huts'. On a shoreline subject to erosion and plundering French raiders, it lacked a market for its few families. From this unpromising beginning the town developed with broad avenues and tidy streets which possess a certain amount of style. Due to Victorian entrepreneurs and the search for fashionable places, the village swallowed up the surrounding land to become the Borough of Hove.
Hove & Portslade Through Time
The fascinating history of Hove and Portslade illustrated through old and modern pictures.
A History of Women's Lives in Hove and Portslade
This book looks at the lives of the women from Hove and Portslade, ranging from artists, musicians, writers, performers, reformers, pioneering doctors and business-women to those employed in factories, shops, laundries and as domestic servants, not forgetting, of course, women's contribution to war-work in both of the world wars. There are facts about their ordinary lives, birth, marriage and death; their education; their leisure activities from guns to cycling, the gym, swimming and horse riding.It is also appropriate to reflect on the Votes for Women movement, when brave souls battled against prejudice to achieve the franchise. Not all women felt the same, of course, and although there was apathy at first, Brighton and Hove was home to an early group of suffragists who were passionate in their beliefs but disliked the violence embraced by the suffragettes.If you ever thought women deserved more than being a mere footnote in history, then this is the book for you.
Hove The Postcard Collection

Brighton Trans*formed
Brighton trans*formed records, in their own words, the lives and experiences of Brighton & Hove's transgender community. Using writing, memories, oral histories and photography, the project offers a snapshot of the rich variety of trans lives in Brighton & Hove at a moment of significant change in how the community connects and organises itself. The project's contributors range from 18 to 81 years old with very different life experiences. All of their testimonies have in common an absolute honesty and openness: contributors shared their joys and tragedies; adversities faced, and a display of strength and resolve to be themselves.

Brighton & Hove Then & Now
From the extravagances of the Royal Pavilion to the slums of nearby Albion Hill in the past, and from the elegance of the Regency squares to the amusement arcades on the Palace Pier today, Brighton & Hove has always been a place of high contrasts; these exist most noticeably over time, as shown by the photographs in this collection. Through the matching of old and rare images with modern ones taken from the same camera location today, this book allows the reader to soak in the many changes that have occurred over the years. Brighton & Hove Then & Now will appeal to visitors, and to everyone who knows the city.
