Brighton & Hove in 50 Buildings is an exciting new look at one of Britain’s most famous and influential cities, telling the story of this ‘city of sin’ and ‘Queen of watering places’. Readers experience a fresh look at the one-time fishing village through fifty of its most famous, unusual and influential buildings. It is not simply a guide to Brighton’s most famous architecture, but looks also at the buildings that tell a story, whether it be of the rich and famous, the adventurous, the go-getters and those left behind in a destination first built for the rich and regal. The book takes you across the many different areas of the city and covers buildings from royal retreats to tourist favourites.
