Theobald House / BN1

Architects: Rice & Co., 1966, for Brighton Council, named after Councillor Stanley Theobald. Built on an area cleared of Victorian tenements, 18 storeys over a podium which provides public car parking. Described by the Residents’ Association chair in 2024 as “the city pharmacy” due to drug dealing and anti-social behaviour. I think several million pounds have since been allocated to improve matters. Blackman Street, City of Brighton & Hove, UK.
