My thanks to Jennifer, the Website Editor, for inviting me to contribute my Personal Tour Of Brighton. A resident from 1949 to 1968, I’ve been an exile in Bath ever since but still love the old home town. Inevitably this tour has a nostalgic flavour and some twinges of sadness and loss, but it’s been a real pleasure compiling it.
