Few cities can boast such an exotic diversity of buildings as Brighton and Hove, from the outlandish pavilion – playground of the Prince Regent – to genteel Regency squares and terraces, Victorian architecture both serious and whimsical, and landmarks of twentieth-century Modernism. This book is the first comprehensive guide to the historic heart of the city, the greatest of England's seaside resorts. A series of walks traces its development from late medieval fishing settlement to the 'Queen of Watering Places', with a lively and critical commentary on its unique architectural character.
