From the extravagances of the Royal Pavilion to the slums of nearby Albion Hill in the past, and from the elegance of the Regency squares to the amusement arcades on the Palace Pier today, Brighton & Hove has always been a place of high contrasts; these exist most noticeably over time, as shown by the photographs in this collection.
Through the matching of old and rare images with modern ones taken from the same camera location today, this book allows the reader to soak in the many changes that have occurred over the years. Brighton & Hove Then & Now will appeal to visitors, and to everyone who knows the city.
