History

The Arundel Terrace houses were built for Thomas Read Kemp by Amon Wilds and Charles Busby between 1824 and 1828.[1] All were constructed with Doric porches and ironwork balconies, although not all these remain, and the buildings were built facing the sea.[2][3] They were built as part of a 106 house development plan for the Kemp Town area of Brighton.[4]

Number 13 was the first building to be completed, and was used from 1826–1851 as the Bush Hotel, before being put up for sale by the building's owners, a Mr Creasy and Mr Wilkinson.

Evening Argus and Sussex Daily News (1920–38)[1] and Edward FitzGerald, the 7th Duke of Leinster (1966–70). Actor and singer Millicent Martin
lived at Number 8, 1970–73.

Number 11 is listed as being put up for sale as an eleven bedroom private house in 1844,[8]

In 1952, the Terrace, including Arundel House (which is listed as being numbers 12–13 Arundel Terrace), became a

UNESCO World Heritage Site.[10]
