Viaduct Terrace, Brighton, Sussex

Viaduct Terrace (Now part of Viaduct Road) is a row of terraced houses in Brighton, Sussex, England. It was a row of 20 houses. My 3xgreat grandfather Thomas Roberts (1813-1889) lived at No 19 Viaduct Terrace in 1863.
==Viaduct Terrace itself==
Viaduct Terrace was built in about 1855 on the northern edges of Brighton, overlooking the London to Brighton Railway Viaduct. It was a row of 20 small houses along Montpelier Road East, now Viaduct Road. The area was sparsely built up until the 1880s. The row of houses housed many working class families. It was later formed part of Viaduct Road. The terrace remains today.
==Thomas Roberts residence there c1862-1864==
Thomas and Esther Roberts and their daughter Ann Elizabeth Roberts (1851-1932) moved into No 19 Viaduct Terrace in about 1862. Esther was ill with phthisis.
Viaduct Terrace was on the very northern part of Brighton, and in the 1860s it actually overlooked a field which the London to Brighton Railway Viaduct went across, hence the name of the row of houses called Viaduct Terrace.
