My husband passed away, and before that, we would travel to see his parents in Brighton each Easter. I hadn’t been back for five years until now.

Whenever we visited, my husband would bring us to The Lanes and purchase antique jewellery for both me and his mother.

We would occupy an entire day exploring the various shops in The Lanes.

The area has undergone a complete transformation. Jewellery from China now dominates the shops.

The sole remaining antique jewellery establishments are those situated in Meeting House Lane.

It is unfortunate that The Lanes have become saturated with products from overseas.

Globally, The Lanes have built a reputation for their antique jewellery.
