More about this scene
Although the east part of Hove developed in Brighton stucco style from the 1820s, it was not until the 1850s that things got going, while the Stanford estate was not developed until after 1871. The town was sturdily independent of Brighton, and its character was more sombre and genteel, a characteristic reflected in its old Town Hall. Designed by Alfred Waterhouse, later the architect of Brighton's Metropole Hotel, it was a sober, red brick affair which opened in 1882. It was destroyed by fire in 1966 and rebuilt in modern style.
