Buildings and architecture of Brighton and Hove

(

)

... that Brighton and Hove's Regency-era seafront (one section pictured), "overflowing [with] architectural inventiveness", was nearly demolished in its entirety in the 1930s in favour of Modernist buildings?

Comment: Sorry, this is a really long article! The quote, which I have amended by one word to make the hook neater, is from current ref [36] in the "Georgian and Regency periods" subsection. The demolish-it-all part is supported by reference [66] in the "Early 20th century" paragraph (and by several other sources, in fact, but I only used one). The article has been under preparation for several years in a sandbox but was moved to mainspace on 30th Dec with this edit.

~~In progress~~ Let me have a look at this. It might take a while to get all the way through this, so I'll list check items below as I get through them. While not a requirement of DYK, I wonder if it would be workable to move any smaller (than the panorama) image up right above the lead to break it up visually. On my browser, anyway, the lead fills up my entire browser before any visual break happens. — Maile (talk) 13:38, 22 January 2014 (UTC)

This is good 2 go. An impressive and informative read. Next step FAC? Love the legs on top of the Duke of York's Picture House. — Maile (talk) 16:47, 22 January 2014 (UTC)
