Sussex Heights, bleak #3, originally uploaded by baxcarias.

West side of the Metropole, a very strange area of odd buildings all in the shadow of Sussx Heights, top left. Not content with Sussex Heights in 1959, they also managed to dump an ugly extension of 2 floors on top of the Metropole building (mid way up the photo). The small white building is an ancient looking cobble fronted regency house, the next building along is the French Protestant Church of Brighton, both of which it seems amazing they ever bothered keeping. Strange area…
