3-12 Charles Street, Brighton – Charles Knight

By making a feature of its omissions this sketch captures something of the fugitive nature of all seaside towns, none more so than Brighton, which wears its salty, wind-beaten patina, from building to building, with a certain nebulous pride.

23 & 24 New Road, Brighton – Charles Knight

Knight's evocative, somewhat ghostly, drawing centres on two stores in Brighton's North Laine, a hub of commerce and culture, then as now, just minutes from the Royal Pavilion.

Charles Knight

An elegant and sensitive painter, with a mastery of watercolour, Knight maintained a deep connection to his native Sussex, making him the ideal artist to capture the county for the Recording Britain project.
