... that Lewes Road in Brighton has a gyratory named after a pornographic cinema? Source: Carder (1990) Section 87 part d (current reference [45]). Offline source. "The junction of Lewes, Bear, Hollingdean and Upper Lewes Roads is known as the Vogue Gyratory system after the former Vogue Cinema ... it became a pornographic film club with regular strip-tease acts..."

- Comment: An image wouldn't add much to this hook, but File:Vogue Gyratory, Brighton (from Upper Lewes Road).jpg would be the one to use. This article was created today by moving pre-prepared material across from a sandbox which had been used for lots of other stuff, so moving the sandbox to mainspace wouldn't have worked.

Post-promotion hook changes for this nom will be logged at Template talk:Did you know nominations/Lewes Road, Brighton; consider watching this nomination, if it is successful, until the hook appears on the Main Page.[reply]

Hi Hassocks5489 (talk), another excellently written and comprehensive article; created 17 March, cited inline throughout to what look to be reliable sources; I didn't find any issues with overly close paraphrasing in a spotcheck and Earwig is clear; hook fact is interesting and mentioned in the article, AGF on offline sourcing. I agree that it is probably best without the image. A QPQ has been carried out. Looks good to me - Dumelow (talk) 20:25, 18 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]
