Description
This book is the first comprehensive guide to the historic heart of Brighton and Hove. A series of walks trace its development from late medieval fishing settlement to the ‘Queen of the Watering Places’, with a critical commentary on its unique architectural character. Few towns can boast such an exotic diversity of buildings, from the outlandish Royal Pavilion, playground of the Prince Regent, to genteel squares and terraces, Victorian architecture both serious and whimsical, and landmarks of twentieth-century modernism.
