BRIGHTON SQUARE, BRIGHTON
It is not easy, in 2008, to fully understand the impact of this very small square in 1966. Formed out of derelict land and buildings, it provided a focus for the narrow pathways of the Lanes, as well as presenting a number of new shops, a restaurant and residential flats. Although the detailing may seem, to our eyes now, somewhat coarse, at the time there was a refreshing simplicity about the whole scheme; the Square was, of course, without the more recent central fountain and the clutter of chairs and tables – views may differ upon the success of these later introductions.
It gained a number of design awards upon its completion, and was upheld as a fine example of urban planning.
Architects: Fitzroy Robinson & Partners.
