[Brighton] Brighton's Best kept secret

[Marty___Mcfly]

Along similar lines, the Kemp Town Enclosures, which I think are normally only open to residents of Lewes Crescent and Sussex Square. I was on a study weekend in Brighton and Hove with the Georgian Group back in 2012 (I was into Georgian architecture at the time, and had just finished a Masters degree on John Nash). One of the leaders lived in Lewes Crescent and took us into the Enclosures. There is a private tunnel which leads under Marine Parade to a terrace overlooking the sea. The leader told us that Lewis Carroll is thought to have got the inspiration for Alice through the Looking Glass from it.

This?

Booth's Museum in Dyke Road is/was pretty much a well kept secret in that I never ever met anybody else who went there apart from me and me kids when they were little. Not sure what was the more creepy, the exhibits or the curator. We last went there in the early nineties. Doubt the creepy curator's still there. Probably been stuffed and mounted by now

He was still there 4 months ago

Another vote for Davis Park . Not many people seem to use it , which is a shame . Not sure why not , maybe as it’s almost west Hove & wish park is also nearby .

Very useful for buying drugs (allegedly) my teenage son tells me.

The Montefiore Hospital in Hove has a meditation room with sound and light installations by Brian Eno.

The Bánh Mì at Milk No Sugar on Trafalgar Street. Whenever I'm in town it's on my list.

My mum spent some months there in 1963 when she was pregnant with my little brother. I never found out why, exacly.

I remember being tested at school for TB around that time, and several girls showing a large reaction.[/QUOTE]

Ah! Interesting.

There are a few Royal Observer Corps nuclear bunkers around and I worked in some. The one on Whitehawk hill has been demolished I believe. Once secret their whereabouts is now in the public domain.

The part that you circled were 2 houses either side of the entrance, years ago they belonged to the police, now I think one of them is an air b&b

My late nan (RIP) was in Brighton's first female darts team. They were based at the Bugle!

I may have posted this before, as it has disturbed me for 55 years.

A class mate told me there were secret passages from St Nicholas Church and Easthill House that led under Shoreham Harbour where there was a massive underground complex with submarines and nuclear missiles.

He also told me that his dad had 'titted off' the queen.

Was your class mate a Prince?

Not really Brighton but the tunnel complex in Denton has always fascinated me. Would love to get down there one day.

Patcham Treacle Mines.

The Wythiam Treacle Mines eclipse them imho.

I've been in one up behind Lewes prison.

In Brighton there is a bunker under Churchill Square, went in there in the 80s to do some phone stuff.
