Geocache Description:


This cache is placed as part of Fin's 14th birthday celebration. There are 6 caches placed and together they form an F.
 

This is the third cache, you are looking for small, black, magnetic, plastic tube. The cache is on the street near St Philip's Church which is now closed down and awaiting sale.

The cache is on the corner of Richardson Road. From the website Hove history blogspot:

"It has been assumed that the road was named after Samuel Richardson (1689-1761) who is regarded as one of the chief founders of the modern novel. His famous works were Pamela and Clarissa published to great acclaim in several volumes, although there were some complaints about the length. At the height of his fame Richardson was acquainted with such people as Dr Samuel Johnson, and when Johnson completed his famous Dictionary, it was noted that he cited Richardson’s works more than any other author.

However, in view of the fact that neighbouring roads rejoice in the names of artists such as Hogarth, Lawrence, Reynolds, Titian, and Raphael, it may be that the name-chooser had in mind Jonathan Richardson (1665-1745) a London portrait painter, who also wrote about art.

In 1900 the road was still no more than a rough track, although Lion Mews was already well established. By 1912 Richardson Road had been developed enough for Hove Council to declare it a public highway.
