‘The Brightonian’ now available for home viewing

We were all captivated by Dan Corns’ documentary film celebrating the long and vibrant life of former Brighton Society Chairman, Robert Gregory (1921 – 2018) when it premiered at our 2024 AGM.

Robert was an architect with a deep love for Italy, its culture and its music after serving as a soldier there in the Second World War. He played a pivotal role in the 1970s movement to challenge the intended development of Brighton Station as well as the threatened destruction and redevelopment of much of the Laines and historic town centre.

Based on an interview with Robert, the film spans the 1920s to the 21st Century and is illustrated with his rich personal archive as well as historic pictures and film of Brighton.

An edited version of ‘The Brightonian’ was showcased in the Documentary stream of the Brighton CineCity film festival 2024 but now you can enjoy the full film at home by following this You Tube link:

 5 stars, highly recommended. Thank you, Dan!
