The Round Hill Conservation Area is in a residential area to the north of Brighton town centre. The area is bounded by Upper Lewes Road to the south-east, Ditchling Road to the west, and the railwayline and industrial estate to the north. The mainly late 19th century buildings are terraced with continuous frontages. Round Hill Crescent boasts some of the most impressive buildings, some of which are listed.
We've enjoyed locating other caches in Brighton's twittens and thought this one worthy of our first hide. The view of the city is amazing from this one, as houses criss cross across the opposite hills. Twitten is an old Sussex dialect word, for small passageways leading between two buildings to courtyards, streets, or open areas behind. Its origins are not clear, although it is suggested it may be a corruption of ‘betwixt’ and ‘between’.
