... that when the Brighton Town Commissioners wanted to build Queen's Road through a slum district, they invited all the residents to a festival and demolished their houses while they were away?
Source: Quote from the Town Commissioners' Report 1845, quoted at ref [8] (The London Road Social History Group 2010, p. 94). "...these slums were along the route from the station to the seafront, and the Town Commissioners did not wish the visitors to see them. Neither did they gain the consent of the tenants; the inhabitants ... had to be lured out of their houses by a festivity at The Level. While they were there, the houses were demolished."
Comment: Adding User:Leutha as original creator of this article, whose expansion started today with this diff. The quote uses the word "festivity", which is rather awkward and old-fashioned to use in the hook IMO. I've gone with "festival", as The Level was commonly used for festivals and other celebrations. Am open to other wording.
