Adam Trimingham writes in praise of the views of countryside and the fact that some may be swallowed by development.

As for his regret about the spread of the estates on the outskirts of Brighton and Hove, I remember just after the war people queuing outside The Argus office in Kensington Street, waiting for the first edition off the press so they would be first in line for any accommodation advertised.
