Sillwood Street
Retrace your steps westwards along the length of Gothic House then turn south down Montpelier Road and east into Sillwood Street once more, heading towards its eastern end. The view here is of the back of the old Curzon Hotel, whose engraved name can still be made out on the nearest wall but unfortunately not in the picture.

Oriental Place
Laid out around 1827 though original plans were to include an Oriental garden at the far end which never materialised due to lack of funds. Sillwood Hall is the building visible in the distance.

Montpelier Road
The B2122 from its junction with Kings Road, the A259. The road between this point and Western Road, the B2066, is one way only. Originally an old farm track that ran from the coast to Ditchling Road it was developed from 1820 onwards.

Cavendish House, Kings Road
Viewed from the Esplanade in front of the children's paddling pool and play area. Built in 1966-67 on the site of the former Union Club. To the right of it is Cavendish Place, a small cul-de-sac built in 1829 by Amon Wilds. Needless to say the block seems very out of place next to the mostly Regency buildings either side of it.

Holiday Inn
This neo-Stalinist monstrosity was opened in 1967 on the site of the former Bedford Hotel that burnt down in 1964 having been opened in 1829 and considered the best hotel in Brighton and the choice of royalty when staying in Brighton. Charles Dickens was also a 19th century guest, writing Dombey & Son during his stay. Viewed from the Esplanade with an architecturally more pleasing children's play castle in the foreground.
