I never believed in magic but all of a sudden I do, after seeing the picture (The Argus, March 22) of Anston House.

The ugly duckling has indeed turned into a beautiful swan, thanks to the artistic students from Brighton College.

Wouldn't it be wonderful if other eyesore sights could be similarly transformed?

Perhaps York Place could be next on the list. It would be nice if this once smart area could be restored to its former glory.
