Brunswick Terrace is part of the Brunswick Town conservation area.

As of 2020, there are 34 conservation areas in the city of Brighton and Hove, [1] a seaside resort on the English Channel coast in southeast England. The definition of a conservation area is a principally urban area "of special architectural or historic interest, the character or appearance of which it is desirable to preserve or enhance". [2] Such areas are identified according to criteria defined by Sections 69 and 70 of the Planning (Listed Buildings and Conservation Areas) Act 1990. Brighton and Hove City Council is responsible for creating conservation areas within the city, and expands upon the statutory definition by stating that each area has "high townscape quality [and] its own distinctive character [... which] creates a sense of place". [3]

Contents

The city has existed in its present form only since 2000, when Queen Elizabeth II granted city status to the unitary authority of Brighton and Hove, [4] [5] which was in turn created in 1997 by the amalgamation of Brighton and Hove Borough Councils. [6] Before 1997, the two councils were separately responsible for creating and administering conservation areas. Hove Borough Council designated the first two, in 1969: Charles Busby's expansive self-contained Brunswick Town estate, [7] with a twin-terrace centrepiece "as grand as anything in St Petersburg", [8] and the rapidly developed mid-19th-century suburb of Cliftonville, characterised by Italianate villas and large Tudorbethan houses. [9] [10] The following year, Brighton Borough Council set up conservation areas to preserve and improve the historic centres of five ancient downland villages—Ovingdean, Patcham, Preston, Rottingdean and Stanmer—which became part of the urban area in 1928 [11] and 1952 [12] because of boundary changes. Brighton's own architectural set-piece, Thomas Read Kemp's "striking, [...] graceful and imposing" Kemp Town estate of the mid-1820s, by Busby and Amon Wilds, [13] was designated at the same time. [14]

Many more parts of the urban area have been included in conservation areas in subsequent years, either through the creation of new areas or by means of extensions to existing areas. One conservation area, Preston, was split into two (Preston Park and Preston Village) in 1988 after it had been extended several times. [15] Carlton Hill, an inner-city area in the east of Brighton which descended into poverty-stricken slum conditions in the early 20th century, [16] [17] is the most recent addition to the list; about 4 acres (1.6 ha) of its historic centre was designated on 4 July 2008. [18] In 2004, when Carlton Hill had not yet been designated, the proportion of Brighton and Hove's urban area covered by conservation areas was about 18%. [3]

The city's conservation areas vary in character and size. Stanmer—an isolated, rural country estate with a mansion, church and single-street village— [19] [20] is more than 200 times larger than the conservation area surrounding the similarly rural Benfield Barn, on the South Downs above Hangleton. Brunswick Town and Kemp Town, by Busby and Wilds, are famous, high-class 19th-century planned estates, each with dozens of listed buildings (including many at the highest Grade I); [21] each represents "the pinnacle of [their] work and ... considerable achievements in domestic architecture and town design". [13] In contrast, areas such as Sackville Gardens and Cliftonville are small-scale, piecemeal suburban developments with varied architectural styles and few or no listed buildings. [22] [23] Woodland Drive and Tongdean have large 20th-century houses, [24] [25] while the Engineerium conservation area consists of formerly industrial buildings. [26]

The government encourages but does not require local authorities to produce studies appraising the character of conservation areas. [3] As of 2017, two of Brighton and Hove's areas lacked formal appraisal documents. [27] The corresponding figure in 2004, when the city's conservation strategy was last revised, was 11. [28]

NameSizeDateNotesRefs
Benfield Barn, Hangleton 1.43 acres (0.58 ha)1989The city's smallest conservation area includes a Grade II-listed barn—part of an ancient farm next to the former Benfield Manor house—and the four terraced cottages which replaced it. The red-brick and flint barn may be late-18th-century, and the houses were built in 1871 for farm workers. They are of yellow stock brick with slate-tiled roofs. [33]
Brunswick Town, Hove 95.92 acres (38.82 ha)1969Local architecture evolved into "serious Neoclassical" at this carefully planned and landscaped set-piece in the mid-1820s. Columns of various orders, pilasters and bow fronts characterise the square and its flanking terraces, all of which enjoy sea views and access to extensive lawns. Smaller squares and streets, such as Adelaide Crescent, Lansdowne Place and Palmeira Square, surround the centrepiece, and are slightly more modest in scope. Stuccoed façades, slate roofs, consistent building heights and long parapets contribute to the impression of regularity and formality. [34] [35]
[36] [37]
Carlton Hill 4.05 acres (1.64 ha)2008This early-19th-century working-class area was comprehensively redeveloped in the mid-20th century after degenerating into a slum, but a few old buildings remain: Tilbury Place is a good example of Georgian architecture, George Cheesman junior's severely Classical church dates from 1839, and the cobble-fronted Mighell Farmhouse survived when adjacent buildings were demolished for Amex House, a large office block. The area's character derives from these buildings, its site on a steep hill with long views, and the survival of fragments of old street layouts and boundary walls in places. [18] [31]
[38] [39]
Cliftonville, Hove 40.05 acres (16.21 ha)1969A small area of "delightful mid-Victorian houses", in a villa style with angled bay windows and exterior ironwork, this 1850s suburb is an example of the long-lasting influence of the Regency style on Victorian domestic architecture. The increasingly fashionable Italianate style is also evident. Slight differences can be seen between individual houses: plots were sold speculatively, so most houses were built to individuals' requirements. Sash windows with valances are characteristic features. [10] [22]
[40] [41]
College Conservation Area 18.60 acres (7.53 ha)1988The College Conservation Area in Brighton is a 7.53-hectare region that was designated as a conservation area in 1988.  The conservation area has an approximately rectangular plan, bounded on the southwest by Eastern Road and the northwest by Sutherland Road and most of College Terrace and extending to Canning Street to the northeast and includes all of Walpole Road and Walpole Terrace to the southeast, as well as including the western end of Belle Vue Gardens. The area is home to a diverse community of residents, with a mix of prestigious semi-detached villas to the west and smaller artisan terraced houses closer to the station to the east. The conservation area is of architectural and historic interest, and the character and appearance of the area are preserved and enhanced. [42] [43]
[44] [45]
[46]
Denmark Villas, Hove 7.42 acres (3.00 ha)1984This road was a northern extension of Cliftonville, built on the way to Hove railway station (opened in 1865). The area has well-spaced Italianate houses in a more modestly detailed style than the rest of Cliftonville, with prominent architraves, quoins and eaves, yellow brickwork and mosaic tiled paths. The road is lined with mature trees, contributing to its character. [10] [47]
East Cliff153.99 acres (62.32 ha)1973Hundreds of listed buildings, a strong and little changed street pattern and the prevalence of Regency architecture characterise the East Cliff, which developed from the late 18th century because of its proximity to the fashionable Old Steine. Many landowners held small plots, so cohesive large-scale developments were not possible; instead, streets tended to follow a north–south alignment defined by old field boundaries. The houses and hotels of Marine Parade, the east–west clifftop road (built from 1827 on the site of a trackway), present a long stuccoed façade which has been described as "unsurpassed anywhere in Britain". [48] [49]
[50]
Engineerium, West Blatchington 8.89 acres (3.60 ha)1982Built in 1866 as the Goldstone Pumping Station to provide more piped water for Brighton and Hove's rapidly growing population, this became a museum in 1976. Considered to be excellent examples of 19th-century industrial design, the brick buildings are intricately detailed with Classical motifs and multicoloured brickwork. The tall chimney is a significant landmark. [26] [51]
Hangleton 15.54 acres (6.29 ha)1984Hangleton became a postwar overspill estate, with what Pevsner called "a grisly set of parodies of the English cottage", but at the centre a set of ancient buildings remain around a park. St Helen's Church has changed little since the 11th century, and Hangleton Manor is Hove's oldest secular building. Now used as a restaurant, it retains its old dovecote and associated cottages. [52] [53]
[54] [55]
Hove Station 14.56 acres (5.89 ha)1996Built as Cliftonville in 1865, Hove railway station soon stimulated middle-class residential development. Goldstone Villas, a wide tree-lined avenue with terraced houses in various styles, was developed in the 1880s and 1890s. Brick in pale colours such as yellow, buff and brown predominates; slate roofs are also common, and many windows are canted bays. Some large-scale late-20th-century developments have affected the area. The Ralli Memorial Hall, a red brick and stone Renaissance-style building of 1913, and a Neoclassical former chapel of 1878 (now an office) provide variety. [56] [57]
[58]
Kemp Town 47.94 acres (19.40 ha)1970The estate has two sea-facing terraces (Arundel and Chichester Terrace) linked to a three-sided square (Sussex Square) by Lewes Crescent, an 840-foot (260 m) double curve of 28 stuccoed houses with large Corinthian pilasters at regular intervals. Charles Busby's original designs were followed most closely in the crescent; the 300-by-550-foot (91 m × 168 m) square took longer to complete and diverges from his plan. Chichester Terrace was finished only in 1855. Thomas Cubitt built 37 of the estate's 106 houses. Surrounding mews and backstreets, the private gardens at the centre, original street furniture and the seafront esplanade (by Henry Kendall) are included in the conservation area. [14] [59]
[60] [61]
Montpelier & Clifton Hill 75.40 acres (30.51 ha)1973Clifton Hill rises gently to a summit between the old town centre and West Hill. Built up from the 1820s to the 1860s, the southwest-facing slopes became Brighton's most desirable suburb. Regency and Italianate architecture dominate the area, and many buildings are stuccoed. St Nicholas' Church, Brighton's ancient parish church, is in the area, and is one of hundreds of listed buildings. Other listed churches include St Michael and All Angels, whose interior is considered the best in England, and St Mary Magdalen, but the Gothic Christ Church burnt down in the 1970s and was replaced by International/Modern-style flats. [62] [63]
[64]
North Laine 41.37 acres (16.74 ha)1977Based around the east end of Church Street, the oldest road, this tightly packed residential and commercial area was developed in the late 18th and early 19th centuries, helped by Brighton railway station's proximity. A laine was an open field which was divided into strips (furlongs and paul-pieces) separated by pathways; pre-modern Brighton was surrounded by five, including North Laine. The boundaries defined the pattern of development: main roads (such as Church Street) follow the old paths, while side streets run at right-angles along the furlongs and paul-pieces. Total redevelopment was proposed in the 1960s, but the area survived; its "attractive townscape has a distinctive ambience" which makes it "the heart and soul of Brighton". [65] [66]
[67]
Old Hove34.44 acres (13.94 ha)1997Hove Street—the ancient village street, whose manor house was demolished in the 1930s—and its surroundings make up this conservation area. Most housing is of the late 19th century: large, mostly semi-detached or terraced and built of red brick. St Andrew's, the former parish church (rebuilt in a Neo-Norman/Romanesque style by George Basevi in 1834) and Hove Public Library are both listed buildings. The former Connaught Road School, of brown and red brick with Dutch gables and terracotta dressings, adds further interest. [68] [69]
Old Town 46.77 acres (18.93 ha)1973The narrow, winding twittens known as The Lanes were built up in the 16th and 17th centuries as Brighton's fishing industry thrived. Most surviving buildings come from a second period of growth in the 18th and 19th centuries, as small houses were built for newly arrived workers. Many have been converted into small independent shops. Several old pubs, Thomas Lainson's Byzantine Revival Middle Street Synagogue (1875) and the Quaker meeting house (1805) are also in the area. [70] [71]
[72]
Ovingdean 48.58 acres (19.66 ha)1970Events in Harrison Ainsworth's novel Ovingdean Grange are fictional, but the building (formerly the manor house) exists in the centre of this downland village, inland from Rottingdean and 2.5 miles (4 km) east of Brighton. St Wulfran's Church, whose churchyard contains a memorial to the family of William Willett, is 12th-century. The adjacent rectory, Ovingdean Hall (a school until 2010) and many flint cottages, mostly of the 18th century, surround the village green and main street. [29] [73]
[74] [75]
[76]
Patcham 20.78 acres (8.41 ha)1970This ancient downland village was extensively suburbanised in the interwar period, but the core of the village—around All Saints Church—remains intact. One of Sussex's largest villages (and parishes) in the 11th century, the population declined by the 19th century; the conservation area's boundary match those of the village as it was from the 1870s until expansion began (as a result of its inclusion within the Borough of Brighton in 1928). Well-wooded parkland, especially around the Grade II*-listed Patcham Place, and access to the South Downs (affected by construction of the Brighton Bypass in the 1990s) contribute to the area's character. Many buildings are of flint or cobblestone; some have glazed black mathematical tiles. [77] [78]
[79] [80]
[81]
Pembroke & Princes, Hove 54.74 acres (22.15 ha)1989Most of this area consists of large late Victorian and early Edwardian houses built during Hove's westward expansion. There is also some later housing, mainly of the 1920s and 1930s. Large front gardens, wide curved tree-lined streets, tile-hung façades, painted exterior timbers and hipped roofs with gable ends characterise the area. Non-residential buildings of interest include the Italianate Brooker Hall, now a museum, and Barford Court—an unusual Neo-Georgian/Art Deco nursing home built of handmade purple bricks. [82] [83]
Portslade Old Village34.21 acres (13.84 ha)1974Portslade sits in a valley west of Hove and has pre-medieval origins; the old village clusters around St Nicolas' Church and the ruined manor house. Pevsner thought that the combination of small flint-walled cottages and a huge Classical/Italianate brewery building of 1881 made it a "bizarre landscape". Extensive parkland, nearby woodland, extensive flint walling and some large 19th-century detached houses contribute to the area's character. Many buildings are listed. [84] [85]
Preston Park 214.47 acres (86.79 ha)1970This area consists of the extensive late-19th-century residential areas north and east of Preston Park: the park itself is part of the neighbouring Preston Village conservation area. Developed in a controlled, architecturally harmonious manner between 1865 and 1885, the long, straight streets of brick villas have features such as timbered gables, decorated bargeboards, canted bay windows and walls combining red brickwork and stucco. Two churches, including the Grade II-listed St Augustine's, contribute to the character of the area. [86] [87]
[88]
Preston Village 80.51 acres (32.58 ha)1970A small village with a manor house and church existed at the time of the Domesday survey in 1086, about 1.5 miles (2.4 km) north of Brighton. The manor (rebuilt in 1738) and church survive and form the centrepiece of this conservation area. Small, irregularly laid out flint cottages lie west of the main London Road, while the eclectic late-19th-century houses in Lovers Walk "form an important and attractive group". [86] [89]
[90]
Queen's Park 45.86 acres (18.56 ha)1977This large park east of Brighton was laid out in 1823 as Brighton Park. Town Clerk Thomas Attree bought it soon afterwards, rededicated it to Queen Adelaide and built a villa (demolished in the 1970s) on the edge. Some of its associated structures, such as the Pepper Pot tower, survive. Two triumphal archways, the Classical remains of a spa, a brick and stone clock tower and a terracotta-decorated pseudo-medieval drinking fountain are also found in the 15.3-acre (6.2 ha) park. [91] [92]
Regency Square 79.69 acres (32.25 ha)1973Brighton expanded westwards from its historic centre in the early 19th century: developments such as Bedford (the earliest), Russell, Clarence and Regency Squares, Sillwood Place, Western Terrace and Cavendish Place were built for wealthy people attracted to the newly fashionable resort, and hotels (the Grand, Bedford and Norfolk) and entertainment venues followed. Pressure for new development in the 20th century introduced taller buildings such as Sussex Heights and Embassy Court—a Modernist contrast to the predominant stuccoed Regency architecture. [93] [94]
[95]
[96]
Rottingdean 41.64 acres (16.85 ha)1970This Saxon village, in a valley behind the seafront east of Brighton, grew rich on agriculture and smuggling, and has dozens of large old houses (especially from the 17th and 18th centuries) around a village green with a pond and church. Ancient trees, flint buildings and walls, old farmhouses and associated buildings characterise the village, but heavy traffic has affected its character for many decades. [97] [98]
[99] [100]
Round Hill 29.78 acres (12.05 ha)1977This hill rises to 223 feet (68 m) and offers long views in all directions. Its terraced streets and landmark buildings are also visible from many other parts of Brighton. The former Kemp Town branch line cut through the area; its former course is now green space which contributes to the area's character. The steep slopes and parallel roads at several levels make the "cat's-creep"—a long, narrow path in the form of a staircase between buildings—a distinctive feature. Most houses were built between the 1860s and the 1880s. [30] [101]
[102]
Sackville Gardens, Hove 32.40 acres (13.11 ha)1997Three long north–south streets, built on allotment land in the late 19th century, and adjacent buildings on the main east–west routes through Hove, make up this small conservation area. The mostly residential area was laid out around the turn of the 20th century: most houses were finished by 1914. The wide roads lead to the seafront and its lawns, offering good views from the architecturally eclectic houses. Many original external features and examples of street furniture also survive. [23]
Stanmer 316.29 acres (128.00 ha)1970This rural downland settlement was called "the only one of Brighton's villages that is really a village" by Pevsner, and its 18th-century listed flint cottages, farm buildings, mansion and church (associated with the Pelham Baronetcy) retain their rural atmosphere despite being 3 miles (4.8 km) from the city centre. War damage was repaired by Brighton Corporation, who bought the estate in 1948. Building materials are mostly flint and weatherboarding. [19] [103]
[20] [104]
[105]
The Avenues, Hove 55.78 acres (22.57 ha)1985Between Brunswick Town and Cliftonville was open space until the 1870s, when the Stanford family sold it for development. Five wide avenues, numbered First to Fourth with Grand Avenue at the centre, were soon laid out by James Knowles. The expansive houses, in various styles (Queen Anne Revival, Gothic Revival and Italianate, among others), sold more slowly than expected, and the area eventually developed over a 30-year period to 1904—hence its eclectic appearance. Occasional non-residential buildings, such as the Jacobethan Hove Club, enhance the area's character, as do its wide streets and sea views. [40] [106]
[107]
The Drive, Hove 7.86 acres (3.18 ha)1977The Grade I-listed All Saints Church, Hove's parish church, is at the centre of this conservation area, which also has large detached villas (mostly converted into flats) designed by William Willett in the 1880s. The church was designed in 1889 by John Loughborough Pearson. The Drive is the northern continuation of Grand Avenue, part of a separate conservation area, and the "Willett Estate" is also considered separately. Gault brickwork is the main building material, and the houses have the same general style while still displaying varied embellishments which reflect "the affluence and the bizarre tastes of the period". [58] [108]
[109]
Tongdean 33.61 acres (13.60 ha)1989This high-class Edwardian residential area is centred on Dyke Road Avenue—the old parish boundary between Brighton and Hove. Large detached houses with prominent chimneys and steep roofs are characteristic, and the expansive scale of the area is enhanced by big gardens (mostly walled) and wide pavements. The area was outside Hove and Brighton Boroughs until 1928. [24]
Valley Gardens, Brighton 92.84 acres (37.57 ha)1977The tall, mostly late-18th-century houses of Grand Parade surround the extensive open gardens which run alongside the main road to London along the bed of an ancient river. A popular entertainment venue in Brighton's early years, the area declined so much that the Prince Regent—resident at the Royal Pavilion, at the gardens' south end—donated money for landscaping and enclosure. Full public access was restored in 1896. Bow fronts, mathematical tiles, pitch-coated cobbled façades and short terraces of houses characterise the surrounding buildings, many of which are listed. The area's central location causes traffic problems and pressure for redevelopment. [110] [111]
[112] [113]
West Hill 56.41 acres (22.83 ha)1977The steeply sloping hillside developed in two stages: terraced housing for the working- and lower-middle classes was built in the 1840s and 1850s, and detached villas followed two decades later when the parish workhouse moved to Race Hill, freeing up land. Scattered development, such as the bow-fronted houses of North Gardens, already existed as well. Brighton railway station, which stimulated this growth, stands at the foot of the hill. Streets followed ancient field boundaries. Painted and rendered buildings are most common; some of the larger houses are Italianate in style. [114] [115]
Willett Estate, Hove 68.30 acres (27.64 ha)1989 William Willett, a builder and inventor, was responsible for the houses around All Saints Church in central Hove. "Willett-built" was considered a mark of quality, and his pale gault-brick houses—detached, semi-detached and terraced—were regarded as solidly built, well-proportioned and attractively decorated with mouldings. When first built in the 1870s and 1880s, though, the homogeneity of the area was criticised. Architects such as H.B. Measures, employed by Willett in the late 1880s, introduced some stylistic variety: red brick and terracotta mansions with florid gables and elaborate decoration. [58] [116]
[117]
Woodland Drive, West Blatchington 27.62 acres (11.18 ha)1996This 1930s residential area was laid out by a single developer, William T. Bostock, which has ensured uniformity of design despite his use of various architects and contractors. Clay tiles, half-timbered gables and dark brickwork were used; "the use of natural [building] materials ... produce a fine architectural composition", according to the council's character statement. The roofs are steep and have large chimneys and eaves. A copse has been preserved along the former boundary line between Hove and Brighton. [25]

Extensions and changes

The East Cliff conservation area may be extended to include the Fitzherbert Centre (foreground) and the Pelham Institute. Pelham Institute and Fitzherbert Centre, Upper Bedford Street, Brighton.jpg
The East Cliff conservation area may be extended to include the Fitzherbert Centre (foreground) and the Pelham Institute.

Section 69 of the Planning (Listed Buildings and Conservation Areas) Act 1990 requires local authorities not only to decide upon and designate conservation areas, but also to review their boundaries periodically. [65] Furthermore, Brighton's Borough Plan (adopted in 1995) [118] states that "consideration will be given to the inclusion of additional areas within existing conservation areas", and that "the opportunity to review the boundaries further will be taken when detailed plans for each conservation area are produced". [65]

Many conservation areas have been extended since they were originally designated. The first round of expansions came in 1977, when Brighton Borough Council changed the boundaries of East Cliff, Kemp Town, the Old Town, Queen's Park, Regency Square and Valley Gardens. [15] East Cliff had a further three extensions: in 1989, 1991 and 2002. The North Laine and neighbouring Valley Gardens areas were each extended in 1989 and 1995; Valley Gardens had already had a boundary change in 1988. More was added to Regency Square's area in 2005, to Patcham in 1992, and to West Hill in 1995. [15] As originally created in 1970, Stanmer conservation area covered only Stanmer House, the village and its environs. An extension in 1988 added much of the surrounding parkland, and more land was added in 2010. [19]

Preston is the only instance of a conservation area being split. Designated under that name in 1970, it was expanded in 1977, 1980 and 1981; in 1988, Brighton Borough Council decided to create two new areas, Preston Village and Preston Park, from this territory. [87] The latter in turn expanded in 1995. [15] A different approach was taken at Montpelier & Clifton Hill: until 2005 this conservation area was named "Clifton", but the council acknowledged that it covered territory in the Montpelier area of the city by introducing its present name in 2005. [15]

Conservation areas are occasionally extended to include single buildings which contribute significantly to an area's character. West Hill, whose residential development immediately followed the opening of Brighton railway station at the bottom of the hill in 1840, changed its boundaries to include it in 1988. [119] The East Cliff conservation area's northern boundary is Eastern Road, but in 2010 consideration was given to extending it north of this at Upper Bedford Street to incorporate Thomas Lainson's Grade II-listed Pelham Institute, a High Victorian Gothic building of the 1870s, and the neighbouring Fitzherbert Centre—a disused early-20th-century school.

<span class="mw-page-title-main">Western Pavilion</span> Historic site in East Sussex , United Kingdom

The Western Pavilion is an exotically designed early 19th-century house in the centre of Brighton, part of the English city of Brighton and Hove. Local architect Amon Henry Wilds, one of the most important figures in Brighton's development from modest fishing village to fashionable seaside resort, built the distinctive two-storey house between 1827 and 1828 as his own residence, and incorporated many inventive details while paying homage to the Royal Pavilion, Brighton's most famous and distinctive building. Although the house has been altered and a shopfront inserted, it is still in residential use, and has been listed at Grade II* by English Heritage for its architectural and historical importance.

<span class="mw-page-title-main">Buildings and architecture of Brighton and Hove</span>

Brighton and Hove, a city on the English Channel coast in southeast England, has a large and diverse stock of buildings "unrivalled architecturally" among the country's seaside resorts. The urban area, designated a city in 2000, is made up of the formerly separate towns of Brighton and Hove, nearby villages such as Portslade, Patcham and Rottingdean, and 20th-century estates such as Moulsecoomb and Mile Oak. The conurbation was first united in 1997 as a unitary authority and has a population of about 253,000. About half of the 20,430-acre (8,270 ha) geographical area is classed as built up.

Thomas Lainson, FRIBA was a British architect. He is best known for his work in the East Sussex coastal towns of Brighton and Hove, where several of his eclectic range of residential, commercial and religious buildings have been awarded listed status by English Heritage. Working alone or in partnership with two sons as Lainson & Sons, he designed buildings in a wide range of styles, from Neo-Byzantine to High Victorian Gothic; his work is described as having a "solid style, typical of the time".

<span class="mw-page-title-main">Carlton Hill, Brighton</span> Area of Brighton in East Sussex, England

Carlton Hill is an inner-city area of Brighton, part of the English city and seaside resort of Brighton and Hove. First developed in the early and mid-19th century on steeply sloping farmland east of central Brighton, it grew rapidly as the town became a fashionable, high-class destination. Carlton Hill's population was always poor, though, and by the early 20th century the area was Brighton's worst slum: overcrowding, crime and disease were rife. Extensive slum clearance in the mid-20th century introduced high-density tower blocks, but some old buildings remain: in 2008, Brighton and Hove City Council designated part of Carlton Hill as the city's 34th conservation area. The area now has housing of various styles and ages, large offices and small-scale industry; there are also churches, a school and some open space.

<span class="mw-page-title-main">Amex House</span> Corporate headquarters in Brighton, United Kingdom

Amex House, popularly nicknamed The Wedding Cake, was the former European headquarters of American Express, a multinational financial services company. Its site is located in the Carlton Hill area of Brighton, part of the English city of Brighton and Hove. The nine-floor building, designed by British architecture firm Gollins, Melvin, Ward & Partners, was commissioned by the company in 1977 to consolidate their operations in Brighton, which had been spread over several sites. The white and blue structure, a landmark on the city skyline, received both praise and criticism for its distinctive style.

<span class="mw-page-title-main">Roundhill Crescent</span> 19th-century housing development in Brighton and Hove

Roundhill Crescent is a late-19th-century housing development in Round Hill, an inner suburb of the English coastal city of Brighton and Hove. Partly developed in the 1860s with large terraced houses on a steeply sloping open hillside, the crescent—which "curves and changes height dramatically along its length"—was finished two decades later and now forms the centrepiece of the Round Hill conservation area. Smaller houses completed the composition in the 1880s, and England's first hospital for the treatment of mental illness was founded in the crescent in 1905. The five original sets of houses from the 1860s have been listed at Grade II by English Heritage for their architectural and historical importance, and the crescent occupies a prominent place on Brighton's skyline.

<span class="mw-page-title-main">20–22 Marlborough Place, Brighton</span> Historic site in Brighton , United Kingdom

The building at 20–22 Marlborough Place in the seaside resort of Brighton, part of the city of Brighton and Hove, is a 1930s office building originally erected for the Citizens' Permanent Building Society. The "elegant" Neo-Georgian premises were later occupied by a branch of the Allied Irish Bank, which opened in the 1980s; and in 2022 it was announced that the premises would be converted into a restaurant. Designed by John Leopold Denman, "master of this sort of mid-century Neo-Georgian", the three-storey offices contrast strikingly with their contemporary neighbour, the elaborate King and Queen pub. The building features a series of carved reliefs by Joseph Cribb depicting workers in the building trade—including one showing Denman himself. It is a Grade II Listed building.

<span class="mw-page-title-main">Montpelier, Brighton</span> Inner suburban area of Brighton, England

Montpelier is an inner suburban area of Brighton, part of the English city and seaside resort of Brighton and Hove. Developed together with the adjacent Clifton Hill area in the mid-19th century, it forms a high-class, architecturally cohesive residential district with "an exceptionally complete character". Stucco-clad terraced housing and villas predominate, but two of the city's most significant Victorian churches and a landmark hospital building are also in the area, which lies immediately northwest of Brighton city centre and spreads as far as the ancient parish boundary with Hove.

<span class="mw-page-title-main">Montpelier Crescent</span> Historic site in East Sussex, United Kingdom

Montpelier Crescent is a mid 19th-century crescent of 38 houses in the Montpelier suburb of the English coastal city of Brighton and Hove. Built in five parts as a set-piece residential development in the rapidly growing seaside resort, the main part of the crescent was designed between 1843 and 1847 by prominent local architect Amon Henry Wilds and is one of his most distinctive compositions. Extra houses were added at both ends of the crescent in the mid-1850s. Unlike most other squares, terraces and crescents in Brighton, it does not face the sea—and the view it originally had towards the South Downs was blocked within a few years by a tall terrace of houses opposite. Montpelier was an exclusive and "salubrious" area of Brighton, and Montpelier Crescent has been called its "great showpiece". Wilds's central section has been protected as Grade II* listed, with the later additions listed separately at the lower Grade II. The crescent is in one of the city's 34 conservation areas, and forms one of several "outstanding examples of late Regency architecture" within it.

<span class="mw-page-title-main">Vernon Terrace, Brighton</span> Historic site in East Sussex, United Kingdom

Vernon Terrace is a mid 19th-century residential development in the Montpelier suburb of Brighton, part of the English coastal city of Brighton and Hove. Construction of the first section started in 1856, and the 37-house terrace was complete in the early 1860s. Architecturally, the houses divide into five separate compositions, although all are in a similar late Regency/Italianate style. This was characteristic of houses of that era in Brighton, and especially in the Montpelier area—where the Regency style persisted much later than elsewhere. Standing opposite is the landmark Montpelier Crescent, which had a view of the South Downs until Vernon Terrace blocked it. Three groups of houses in the terrace have been listed at Grade II by English Heritage for their architectural and historical importance.

Clayton & Black were a firm of architects and surveyors from Brighton, part of the English city of Brighton and Hove. In a career spanning the Victorian, Edwardian and interwar eras, they were responsible for designing and constructing an eclectic range of buildings in the growing town of Brighton and its neighbour Hove. Their work encompassed new residential, commercial, industrial and civic buildings, shopping arcades, churches, schools, cinemas and pubs, and alterations to hotels and other buildings. Later reconstituted as Clayton, Black & Daviel, the company designed some churches in the postwar period.

<span class="mw-page-title-main">First Church of Christ, Scientist (Brighton)</span> Church in Brighton and Hove , United Kingdom

The First Church of Christ, Scientist is a church serving members of the Church of Christ, Scientist denomination in the English coastal city of Brighton and Hove. The present building, originally a "notable" private house in Brighton's exclusive Montpelier suburb, was extended and converted into a church by prolific local architecture firm Clayton & Black in 1921.

<span class="mw-page-title-main">163 North Street, Brighton</span> Building in Brighton, England

The building at 163 North Street in Brighton, part of the English coastal city of Brighton and Hove, was erected in 1904 for an insurance company and has since been used as a branch by several banks and building societies. It now houses a bookmaker's shop. The distinctive pink granite Edwardian Baroque-style office, embellished with towers, decorative carvings and a landmark cupola, has been called "the most impressive building" on Brighton's main commercial thoroughfare. One of many works by prolific local architecture firm Clayton & Black, it has been described as their chef d'œuvre. English Heritage has listed it at Grade II for its architectural and historical importance.

<span class="mw-page-title-main">155–158 North Street, Brighton</span> Grade II listed historic building in Brighton, England

The building at 155–158 North Street in Brighton, part of the English coastal city of Brighton and Hove, was built between 1921 and 1923 as a branch of National Provincial Bank. The King Louis-style bank was built on the site of several shops. The properties were acquired by the National Provincial Bank during 1916–20. The Brighton Gazette had occupied 155a North Street since 1910, when its long-time home at number 150 was converted into the Cinema de Luxe. Published by William James Towner, the paper’s full title was the Brighton Gazette, Hove Post and Sussex Telegraph. In 2011 it became J D Wetherspoon's second pub in central Brighton. One of many buildings by the prolific local architecture firm of Clayton & Black, whose work in various styles can be found across the city, it forms an important component of the range of banks, offices and commercial buildings on North Street—a significant commercial thoroughfare since the 18th century. In particular, the "good attention to detail" shown throughout the building's Louis XVI-style façade has been praised. English Heritage has listed it at Grade II for its architectural and historical importance.

<span class="mw-page-title-main">King and Queen, Brighton</span> Pub in Brighton, England

The King and Queen is a pub in the seaside resort of Brighton, part of the city of Brighton and Hove. The present building, a "striking" architectural "pantomime" by the prolific local firm Clayton & Black, dates from the 1930s, but a pub of this name has stood on the site since 1860—making it one of the first developments beyond the boundaries of the ancient village. This 18th-century pub was, in turn, converted from a former farmhouse. Built using materials characteristic of 16th-century Vernacular architecture, the pub is in the Mock Tudor style and has a wide range of extravagant decorative features inside and outside—contrasting with the simple design of the neighbouring offices at 20–22 Marlborough Place, designed a year later. English Heritage has listed the pub at Grade II for its architectural and historical importance.

<span class="mw-page-title-main">2–3 Pavilion Buildings, Brighton</span> Offices (now bar) in Brighton and Hove, United Kingdom

2–3 Pavilion Buildings in Brighton is a former office building which has been converted into a bar. It was constructed in 1934 as the new head office of the Brighton & Hove Herald, a "leading provincial weekly" newspaper serving the borough and seaside resort of Brighton and its neighbour Hove in southeast England. The Neo-Georgian offices were built to the design of prolific local architect John Leopold Denman and feature decorative carvings by Joseph Cribb. After production of the Herald ceased in the 1970s, the building was used by an insurance company and then as a bar. A firm of insolvency practitioners also occupies part of the premises. Vestigial remains of the neighbouring Royal Pavilion's guest bedrooms were incorporated into the building's rear elevation. The building is on Brighton and Hove City Council's Local List of Heritage Assets and is in a conservation area.
