A fact from Buildings and architecture of Brighton and Hove appeared on Wikipedia's Main Page in the Did you know column on 27 January 2014 (check views). The text of the entry was as follows:

Did you know... 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?

A record of the entry may be seen at Wikipedia:Recent additions/2014/January. The nomination discussion and review may be seen at Template:Did you know nominations/Buildings and architecture of Brighton and Hove.

Bedford Hotel/Sussex Heights[edit]

The Bedford Hotel was replaced by a new Bedford Hotel as mentioned in its article; Sussex Heights was built on another site. Peter James (talk) 21:00, 26 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Good spot; I checked the original text I had written, and somebody had edited it since and I had not noticed the error being introduced. I will reinstate the original text. Hassocks5489 (Floreat Hova!) 21:43, 26 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Falmer House[edit]

I think the section on the University of Sussex should include a mention of Falmer House’s Grade I listing. It’s a,fairly rare, example of a 20th century Grade I listing . KJP1 (talk) 19:48, 24 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]
