Lewes Road Sainsbury's is the finest "modern"
building in the city.
Designed by a local architect passionate about Brighton's railway history, it is styled on the Victorian viaduct of the Kemp Town Branch Line which crossed Lewes Road just south of The Vogue.
It was built in 1984, the year the Brighton Labour Party's manifesto promised a railway museum for the town.
When Sainsbury's vacates the building, a long-overdue Brighton Museum of Transport could be housed there and it could be renamed "The Nimrod Ping Building".
The classic Edwardian tram depot is just around the corner, also.
