Air Street, BRIGHTON, BN1 3FB

The narrow street dates from the early 18th century but has long lost its original buildings which had become a notorious slum by the early 19th. Its northern end is now part of Queens Road leaving just the current footway between that road and Queens Square. To the left is the Royal Bank of Scotland offices built in the mid 1980s on the site of a former church and included the redevelopment of small shops on the western side. On the right hand side is the new North Street Quadrant development constructed in the early 2000s which took away all the buildings on the eastern side except the Quadrant pub to the north.
