ABOVE: This photo shows Cox's Pill Factory in 1971. This is a particularly
interesting photo as it shows (and confirms) the original layout of the
junction of Lewes and Upper Lewes Road, prior to the construction of
the Vogue Gyratory. In my opinion the way the road here is laid out in
is its ideal scenario. I am not a fan of the Vogue Gyratory; it is
needlessly over-complicated and in rush hour traffic, can be quite
dangerous especially if you are a bus-driver like me....
Note that the chimneys that were at either end of the building (and clearly visible in some other photos) have been removed at some stage of the proceedings, although thus far I have not been able to determine when. Note also that between this and the next photo, there are changes to the masonry above the top windows denoting the building's purpose. In the 1971 view, the masonry is plain.
