2019: The buildings shown in Gray’s picture are little changed today, partly because they form the backs of houses in Lewes Crescent and Sussex Square that have all, since the early 1950s, been Grade I Listed. The main difference is traffic: what was an empty street in the 1930s is now full of parked cars and a Brighton Bikeshare Hub – a 21st century version of a 19th century mews, perhaps.
