A view of the listed southern side from the small alley that links this square with Regency Square. The square was built during the 1820s by A H Wilds who built a number of buildings in Brighton during this period of expansion. Until the 1960s the far eastern side would have been filled with houses of a similar design but these were swept away as part of the massive Churchill Square redevelopment which also included two large tower blocks, one of which, Chartwell House, can be seen above the multi-storey car park.
