I enjoyed reading "Historian calls for excellence not mediocrity" (The Argus, December 6).
One walks along and sees beautiful Regency, Victorian and Edwardian buildings blighted by an ugly Sixties or Seventies concrete monstrosity nearby.
Architects and planners have learned the lessons of past mistakes and have produced some really attractive buildings recently.
The new Berkley Homes flats in Marine Parade, Brighton, for instance, are a delight - very stylish - and a world away from the awful blocks of flats built some 35 years ago.
