I always though it was Station/Boundary Road.
Station Road (obviously Portslade Station side) was Hove.
Boundary Road (Forfars, Tesco) was in Portslade.
Might be completely wrong though.

Maybe but its still in Hove.
While it may seem odd, Station Road Portslade is the non station side of the boundary. This is probably due to the fact that when originally constructed the station was west of the level crossing. It was moved to its present position some time later but the road names remained.

St Nick's. Was St Mary's the Catholic school West of the rec?
And don't forget Carlton Terrace - this is a road with 3 names. Exactly the same as Cat Stevens !

Really.!!
When did you grow up in Crawley and what parts are you talking about.?
All the people I know who grew up in the town during the 70s and 80s have really fond memories of the place.
Granted, its changed massively over the last 10 years and not for the better.Still ,growing up in the town a few decades ago was enjoyable.

Isn't everywhere, by definition, full of "ethnics"?
ethnic
ˈɛθnɪk/
adjective
relating to a population subgroup (within a larger or dominant national or cultural group) with a common national or cultural tradition.
"ethnic and cultural rights and traditions"

Oh. You meant "ethnic minorities". I see.
Crawley: nearly 80% white British population at the last census. Does that reassure or disturb you?
