This week's pictures feature windows of the North Laine, a charming and fashionable district in the middle of Brighton. The North Laine's charm is the way that homes, shops, cafes and pubs are all mixed together in a network of 19th century streets. The residents and the traders of the area have a strong tradition of individuality, though its popularity means it is now hard for anyone but the rich to either live or open a business there. But the terraced houses are a visual delight and there is great variety and character crammed into a very small area. The pictures in this set are all of ground floor windows in North Laine houses. They include three that show a marvellous current (October 2006) exhibition in Tidy Street. Residents there have each chosen a family photo important to them and it has been blown up to fill their front window. The North Laine is not yet ruined while it still comes up with ideas like that.
