Pauline Sewards Rainbow Path

Turn left at Old Steine to St James Street. Acceptance and love go far between Beacon Centre and Rock Place. All streets on the starboard side lead to the sea glimpse the shining ocean pearls as you glance away from busy shops.

How will you make your way? With sepia flicks of history? This was Brighton’s Bond Street, home of Forfar’s bakery, the lingering aroma of Beano Pies, listening booths of Tilbury Gig.

Or will you take a personal story? I lived in the pink house in Margaret St, heard the grit of pebbles crash the waves at night. Or are you mosaicing your own map from kebabs and coffee, a haul of driftwood and sea bleached rope?

This is a street where no one tells and everyone kisses. Not just gateway to Kemp town but a whole village. Brighton in microcosm, the city’s pulse.
