Welcome to MyHouseMyStreet, a collaborative, community-based project providing information about Brighton & Hove's historic homes and streets. This website is currently under development and not all features are yet live. Nevertheless you can already find really useful materials, follow the links on the site and discover more..

Lottery funding

MHMS has received an award from the Heritage Lottery Fund to enable the gathering and processing of historical data relating to 20 local streets. The award has also funded exhibitions, educational activities and this website, as well as aiding the development of our volunteer group.

Search the Directories

With the cooperation of Brighton & Hove City Council and the Brighton History Centre team we now offer online access to the City’s historic directories, a key MyHouseMyStreet resource. And, as of 21 December 2012, all of the pages are searchable by street name, which makes them even more useful! Go to the Directory pages section.
