' All Queen Anne front and Mary-Ann back; elegance on one side, vulgarity on the other.'
That's how Jack Tinker , theatre critic of the Daily Mail, describes the Regency flavour of Brighton, where he's lived for 20 years.

But post-war planning has allowed whole streets of Old Brighton to be torn down and replaced by tower blocks and car parks. Some people have moved away in despair. JACK TINKER is among those who have chosen to stay and fight.
