Continue along the seafront and make for Royal Crescent, with its black mathematical tiles and pretty balconies. LORD OLIVIER OF BRIGHTON (19071989) owned both Nos.4 and 5. This distinguished actor of stage and screen was also first Artistic Director of the Chichester Festival Theatre. On a more frivolous note, he waged a campaign to have kippers restored to the breakfast menu of the ' Brighton Belle' ( London to Brighton Train Service ). He is commemorated with a Brighton Corporation slate roundel.
