carloadof8balls: Archiving this one as there are too many merry old men drinking and frolicking in the area that must be sabotaging the cache.
Leave them to it :-)

Geocache Description:

One of many caches I've placed in Brighton & Hove to get me into the spirit of Geocaching. Look out for the others ranging from nano's to large containers, a great multi cache hunt in Preston Park using only photo's as reference and now, Brighton's one and only night time hunt using special firetacks placed in Withdean Woods called 'Geophrecia's Lair- The night cache Gold' GC566QM. I hope you enjoy them.


How do you pronounce it? Mont-pee-lia or Mont-pel-e-air? An often asked and argued question amongst the locals.

Montpelier Crescent is a mid 19th-century crescent of 38 houses in the Montpelier suburb of Brighton, part of the English coastal city of Brighton and Hove. Built in five parts as a set-piece residential development in the rapidly growing seaside resort, the main part of the crescent was designed between 1843 and 1847 by prominent local architect Amon Henry Wilds and is one of his most distinctive compositions. Extra houses were added at both ends of the crescent in the mid-1850's. Unlike most other squares, terraces and crescents in Brighton, it does not face the sea—and the view it originally had towards the South Downs was blocked within a few years by a tall terrace of houses opposite. Montpelier was an exclusive and "salubrious" area of Brighton, and Montpelier Crescent has been called its "great showpiece" Wilds's central section has been protected as Grade II listed, with the later additions listed separately at the lower Grade II. The crescent is in one of the city's 34 conservation areas, and forms one of several "outstanding examples of late Regency architecture" within it.
