Brighthelm Centre, Brighton, 2024

A four-story, weathered brown concrete building with vertical stains stands on a rainy street. The ground floor has a colorful storefront named Astoria with a blue fence beside it. Several cars are parked along the wet road in front of the building.

I’ve risked my last train home out of rainy Brighton to stop and take a picture of this beauty. This is the Brighthelm Centre. I love the textured concrete at the front of the building, and while the brick behind doesn’t do much for me, it certainly makes a great first impression. The cross recessed into the textured concrete is a particularly nice touch.
