Aldrington

Aldrington is a residential neighbourhood in the western part of the city of Brighton and Hove, West Sussex, lying between Hove and Portslade. It is made up of terraces, short rows of Victorian houses and later 20th-century developments, with small local shops and community facilities along its main streets. The West Coastway railway line and frequent local bus services provide links to central Brighton, Hove and outlying towns. Street pattern and housing density reflect gradual infill rather than a single planned estate.

The place-name carries a long history: historic maps and records show a medieval Aldrington closer to the shoreline that was affected by coastal change. Today the area sits a short walk from Hove's seafront and promenade, yet retains a residential scale with allotments, small parks and community halls. Day-to-day life is centred on local schools, pubs and corner shops rather than large-scale tourist facilities, giving the neighbourhood a primarily local character.
