A bit of a clean-up done just now; I've not introduced section headings, but I suggest they would be a good idea if further content is added. I've removed the references to fashionable beachwear (I really don't understand or agree with the idea that you can be more risque on Hove's beaches than on Brighton's!) and also the references to Liberalism and Conservatism which weren't backed up by any evidence from electoral returns. I've added a bit about the impressive housing developments, including the important change in dating of Adelaide Crescent which most certainly isn't Victorian! Kierant 00:50, 16 January 2006 (UTC)

Hi there. Wondered if it would be worth mentioning the goldstone? [the lump of rock opposite DFS,not the footy ground he he] what do people think? I really dont know that much about it to comment.Ukbn2 12:52, 3 June 2006 (UTC)

Also - kierant - maybe a mention of the sackville hotel collapse?Ukbn2 12:55, 3 June 2006 (UTC)

These sound like very good additions; I presume the Goldstone is something very old? Sadly most of the ancient history included so far for Brighton & Hove seems to be about Brighton-based things. But personally I know nothing about the stone - nor the hotel collapse - so I can't help with these. Will have a dig around in my reference book shelf though ;) – Kieran T ^{(talk | contribs)} 12:59, 3 June 2006 (UTC)

Perhaps the engineerium deserves a mention as well? Recentley saved from closure buy a private buyer, i dont know nuch about the place though living not far from there once, its quite famous for its steam driven engines i think. You are right about the Brighton Influences. Yeah, the sackville hotel - think of the big green hotel opposite the lagoon on the seafront - its recentley imploded.

The goldstone is at the edge of hove park on the old shoreham road side. Must have some significance i am sure, i will read the plaque on the front of it this weekend.http://www.brighton-hove.gov.uk/index.cfm?request=c1001368Ukbn2 13:43, 3 June 2006 (UTC)

Engineerium has since been added to Landmarks_and_notable_buildings_of_Brighton_and_Hove – Kieran T ^{(talk | contribs)} 14:44, 29 June 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Persistent opinions

There is a chunk of opinion about bikinis and a café which has just been added, anonymously, for at least the second time. I've removed it (again) because it really isn't verifiable fact and might even be an advert for the café. I've also returned the citation required tag which had been removed by an anonymous user (without a citation being added) for the comment about Hove's political shade/demographic, and added another such tag to the comment about where language students live. This too was re-added by an anonymous user today. I don't think it's in any way verifiable or even measurable. I'd like to delete it, but felt it was reasonable to request a citation first. – Kieran T ^{(talk | contribs)} 17:42, 5 July 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Twin towns

How come no twin towns are listed? Hove has at least one (Draveil, I think, but there must be more). Anyone have any idea how to get such a list? (I can't find anything on the B&H council site). A bit iffy 13:19, 2 December 2006 (UTC)
