Connections with Brighton and Hove : Great buildings need great architects and Brighton was fortunate to be served by a man with the talent of Charles Busby. With his partner, Amon Wilds, Busby built many of the great Regency squares and crescents in Kemp Town and Hove. Wilds, a builder, teamed up with Busby, an architect to form a fruitful partnership. Together they built the great estates in Kemp Town and Hove which contain most of Brighton and Hove’s top listed buildings. Busby and Wilds also built a great many individual houses in many parts of Brighton. Born in 1788, Busby published several books on architecture and also lived in America for several years.
