I read with interest the article on the Lanes (The Argus, March 17).
The Lanes were and still are the heart of the old town of Brighthelmstone.
They comprise the area bounded by North Street, West Street, East Street and South Street.
The area that has come to be known as North Laine appeared several hundred years later.
The records in the library would confirm this information.
I do feel that the people now living in the areas of old Brighton should be correctly informed of the history of where they live.
