TITLE:
DESCRIPTION: SIR HERBERT CARDEN (18671941). Often referred to as the Father of Modern Brighton, he preserved Brighton's greenbelt by buying up parcels of downland at auction and then selling them to Brighton Corporation at cost. However, if some of his ideas about modernising Brighton had been acted upon, much of the Regency and Victorian architecture that we value today would have been destroyed.
