We commissioned a Heritage blue plaque celebrating the buildings original architect David Mocatta. This was unveiled by the Worshipful Mayor of Brighton & Hove Counsellor Carol Theobald here on the right of Keith and Sophie Curtis. Mocatta was a pupil of Sir John Soane, the designer of the Bank of England, on which he is reputed to have had a significant role. He was the architect of Brighton Station and the Ouse Valley Viaduct. This blue plaque now forms part of the Regency Society’s walk.
