General notes to insert where appropriate

 * In June 2014, RBS Real Estate Asset Management (part of the Royal Bank of Scotland) announced their intention to pay for improvements to North Street, whose "string of empty shops, narrow pavements and run-down bus stops" gave the street a "down-at-heel" appearance. The company owns Huntingdon House, an office block next to the former Hanningtons store, and all the former Hanningtons buildings.  It planned to fund improvements such as wider pavements, tree planting, new bus stops, a pelican crossing and street benches.
 * Samuel Johnson was unimpressed with Brighton. His friends Fanny Burney and Henry and Hester Thrale were regular visitors in the late 18th century (the Thrales built one of the first "holiday homes" in the town), and he saw them regularly and even reluctantly joined them in sea-bathing, which the women particularly enjoyed. However, he once said of the town "it is so truly desolate that if one had a mind to hang oneself from desperation on being obliged to live there, it would be difficult to find a tree on which to fasten the rope".
 * Brighton has been a centre for private and retail banking since the 18th century—a role previously fulfilled by Lewes, the county town. In 1787 Thomas Harben founded Brighton's first bank at 103 North Street; later called The Old Bank, it was taken over by the Brighthelmstone Bank, one of six competitors founded in the town in the next 50 years. By 1842, though, all but one had failed—even the Brighthelmstone, leading to personal ruin for founder Isaac Wigney . The survivor, Brighton Union Bank of 6–9 North Street, expanded across Sussex before being taken over by Barclays in 1959 and moving to a new building elsewhere on North Street which was designed by John Leopold Denman.
 * Writer Henfrey Smail, attempting to contrast the "eccentricities of Regency Brighton" with the genteel nature of the nearby resort of Worthing, claimed that "shooting at chimney pots, prize fighting on the Steine, and frightening servant girls into fits by dressing up as ghosts at night were among the intellectual amusements of the Prince Regent's particular cronies".
 * Brighton and Hove has a much higher rate of business formation than either southeast England or Britain as a whole. In 2010, 80.1 new businesses were founded in the city per 10,000 working-age people; the corresponding figures for southeast England and Britain were 67.8 and 58.8.  The figure has declined, though: as recently as 2004 there were over 100 business formations per 10,000 people in Brighton and Hove.
 * The city originally had Jobcentre Plus offices at Windsor House in the Kemptown area and Boundary House in Portslade. A new centre was opened on Queen Square in central Brighton in April 2022.
 * The ancient field system to the north and east of Brighton constrained the town's residential development and gave it "a distinctive character", as did the ownership by the Stanford family of most of the remaining land surrounding Brighton and Hove. They carefully controlled its sale and development, releasing parcels of land gradually and ensuring that visually cohesive planned estates of high-quality housing were built.  The present city's 19th- and early 20th-century housing has a clear pattern.  The poorest houses lie to the east of Brighton (slum clearance in the Carlton Hill, Albion Hill and Edward Street areas has replaced much of this); working-class housing for tradesmen, railway workers and other artisans spread to the northeast around Lewes Road; middle-class developments lay north of the centre around London Road; and the highest-quality suburbs developed to the northwest of Brighton and north of Hove on the Stanford family's land.

A quote
"The approach to Brighton Station by train is a memorable arrival experience for the city. The view experience is characterised by sweeping panoramas over the South Downs Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty and then entering a tunnel which then opens up affording broad panoramas over the eastern part of the city. Glimpses of church spires and the western residential area of the city are visible above the cliffs at certain points but the main focus of the view experience is towards the east. Several tall developments of mixed architectural quality are visible both above and below the ridgeline. The area adjacent to the station terminal has significant scope for enhancement."

Kemp Town notes
"Kemp Town was started in 1823 by Thomas Read Kemp ... [i]t comprised Lewes Crescent and Sussex Square surrounding private landscaped gardens with tunnel access under the main road (now Marine Parade) leading through green slopes to the sea. Chichester Terrace and Arundel Terrace fronting the coast road completed the composition. (A History of Brighton and Hove, Ken Fines, 2002, p43)

By the start of the 20th century, the estate was declining as large houses became difficult to sell. In 1903 a businessman bought about 20 of the houses and converted them into flats, a trend which continued throughout the century. In 1994 it was stated that the pair of houses at 39 and 40 Sussex Square had been divided into 21 flats.

Borough of Brighton Residents' Handbook
Notes from here. Citation: * and


 * p7: Borough Council's Resort Services Dept was in Marlborough House.
 * p9: Borough of Brighton = 15,041 acres. Came into existence 01/04/1974 as one of seven districts created in East Sussex as a result of the LGA 1972.  Same boundaries as former County Borough of Brighton which it replaced.  This was constituted in 1889 and was extended in 1928 and 1951.  Approx 150,000 live in borough, but this is not a true reflection of the size and importance: many people visit for holidays, conferences, exhibitions, shopping, education and attractions.
 * p7+9: Borough divided into 16 electorial wards, elected in thirds and w/ three councillors in each: Hanover, Hollingbury, King's Cliff, Marine, Moulsecoomb, Patcham, Preston, Queen's Park, Regency, Rottingdean, St Peter's, Seven Dials, Stanmer, Tenantry, Westdene and Woodingdean.
 * p10 (Map of car parks in 1985 in town centre): Station (900), London Road (530), Belmont St (120), Oxford St (35), New England St (320), Kingswood St (50), Spring Gdns (160), King St (600), High St/Chapel St (80), Churchill Sq (330), Cannon Pl (550), Regency Rd (650), Russell Rd (70), behind Russell Square/Metropole (250), Regency Sq (520).
 * p43: Parks and open space: >2,600 acres of open space in Btn; 120 major sites. Largest town-centre park = Preston Park.  Extensive flower gardens and rose garden.  Rookery rock garden: reputedly largest and most extensively planted municipal rockery in England.  Old Steine/Victoria Gardens: formal gardens w/ fountain.  Withdean Park originally contained botanical collection of lilacs, but scope widened in 1968 to includde many other plants.  Devil's Dyke Estate: 185 acres.  Extensive views from Beacon Hill in Rottingdean, esp. along the coast.  Stanmer Park: 200 acres of grass and woodlands, and the Borough Nursery.  Also adjacent council-owned farmland.  Council bought the whole Stanmer Estate of >5,000 acres from the Earls of Chichester in 1947.  Nursery prouced >1 million plants per year and was open to the public.  Prince Regent Swimming Complex opened in 1981 w/ 33-metre pool, diving pool etc.
 * p45: Also Saltdean Lido in summer. Paddling pools at Saunders Park, The Level, Saltdean Lido and near West Pier.  Stanley Deason Sports Centre, Brighton's first purpose-built sports hall, opened in Feb 1984 as joint venture w/ ESCC.   18-hole municipal golf courses at Waterhall and Hollingbury Park.  63 tennis courts, 16 bowling greens (including six in Preston Park).  1980: Withdean Athletics Stadium revamped and given all-weather synthetic surface.
 * p47: Also 8 squash courts there. Also in the borough: about 60 pitches for football/rugby/hockey and 25 for cricket.
 * p48: (Rem. as of 1985!) Buses in the borough run jointly by Brighton Borough Transport and Southdown Motor Services (part of NBC). Weekly/4-weekly/Annual Travelcards available.  BBT were based at Lewes Road; SMS were based at Southdown House in Freshfield Road.
 * p49: Road: main roads are A23/M23 (north), A27 (E-W) and A259 (E-W coast road). Express coach every hour to London via M23.  Air: Gatwick about 30 miles north on the main road and rail routes.  Shoreham Airport (jointly owned in 1985 by Brighton Borough, Hove Borough and Worthing Boroguh Councils) is 9 miles away and has scheduled and chartered light aircraft flights.  Ferry: Newhaven (for Dieppe) is 9 miles away.
 * p50: Bus: SMS and BBT run joint services under title "Brighton Area Traansport Services", pooling revenue, sharing fare scales and running as a coordinated single operation. SMS maintained the enquiry office at St James's Mansions and the bus and coach station at Pool Valley.  BBT maintained an info office at Steine Gardens, opp Royal Albion.  SMS operated longer distance buses to Eastbourne, T/Wells, H/Heath, Worthing, Chichester, Portsmouth etc.  Coaches: National Express services to London and West Country regularly; regular excursions (usually from Madeira Drive) by various private operators.
 * p51: Myths include: town composed entirely of wealthy theatricals and retired businesspeople; everybody commutes up to London for their jobs; or town relies almost exclusively on tourist industry. Job breakdown as of 1985 was approx: 29,000 in office work (professional/scientific services, banking, finance, insurance etc); 12,000 in industry; 10,000 in retail and distribution; 6,000 in tourism (e.g. hotels, restaurants); 10,000 other (incl. lots in education).  Regular commuters to London = appox. 3,000. (p52 for that bit.)
 * p52: Council invested heavily in industry in postwar period in an attempt to diversify the economic base and reduce reliance on resort-type activities. 4 main industrial estates built adjacent to main housing estates.  (Hollingbury, Moulsecoomb, Bevendean...?).  Also developed one in 1970s on former Kemp Town station site.  Brighton generally has quite small employers, in industry, manufacture and retail, although there are a few major employers.
 * p53: Shopping: Brighton acknowledged as one of the most important shopping centres in SE England: large number of shops of unusually diverse character. Main area: Churchill Sq/Western Rd/North St, home of the largest chains, dept stores etc.  London Road: several chains and some independent shops, and the open market.  St James's Street; The Lanes; East St and Regent Arcade; North Laine; and Lewes Road also important shopping areas.
 * p54: Housing: The housing situation is dominated by a shortage of land due to the town's position suashed between the sea, the Downs and built-up areas to the E and W, and the magnetic attraction as a place to live, work or retire. Housing situation in Brighton is and has always been difficult.  House prices high even by SE England standards; private rented accommodation hard to find; long waiting list for Housing Department, even though Brighton had in 1985 about 12,000 council houses and flats: a much higher proportion than any other resort in England.  No land left for expansion beyond the existing housing stock of ~62,500; redevelopment and modernisation of old houses needed.  Until early 20C the Borough Council's principal concern in housing centred on the removal of slum property, largely arising from the rapid unplanned C19 expansion.
 * p55: In 1920s, Council built many houses in Moulsecoomb and Queen's Park, and in 1930s in Whitehawk and Manor Farm, with the idea of providing good family housing in the more healthy environments away from the town centre. After WWII, with demand swollen by the fact that no new building had taken place for several years, Council continued its policy of developing available land away from the town centre.  Extensive house and flat developments at Hollingdean, Coldean, Bevendean and a bit more at Moulsecoomb.  Now Council is mainly interested in improving, repairing and upgrading existing housing stock, esp. in Whitehawk where redevelopment will allow more dwellings to be accommodated.  Council also, subject to Govt restrictions on finance, makes mortgage loans to people wishing to buy their own houses, loans for improvement/repair of houses; also lends to housing associations who are building houses for rent or sale.  Private sector: steady decline, esp since WWII, in amount of private rented accommodation in Brighton.  By 1985, only 20% of housing in Brighton was of this tenure (in 1900 had been the majority.)  Housing associations and other voluntary agencies, supported by local and national govt, have in recent years been providing more housing for rent as an alternative to owner-occupancy or council renting.  1985: over 55% of dwellings owner-occupied.  Most new houses and flats on the market are provided by private developers.  Mainly as the result of development of existing sites where older/larger houses are demolished and their site and gardens are used for modern accommodation, usually flats.
