Prince Regent Car Park

Graffiti on a car park wall

By Jeremy Nicholson

This photo shows Triffid Graffiti at the Prince Regent Swimming Complex Car Park.

Now, graffiti is a slightly taboo subject at the moment with the Council trying to 'clean up' the city. Personally, I love a lot of the graffiti in Brighton and have seen many marvellous pieces of street art. I've also seen lots of cases of mindless vandalism with tags and indiscriminant spraying.

I think that graffiti is part of what gives Brighton its creative soul. This particular piece will probably disappear under the great glass library going up soon.

I don't think much of the car park at all. It's a playground for insolent yobos to spray their filth and brand the historical walls of our city. Roll on the bulldozers!

No, some street art is good, still in Brighton you get large walls covered in it and it does look good, but when it's done badly and in the wrong places then it really looks bad. Who is the DEAN? I see that name all around, even on the by-pass.
