Not much better

The opposite side of Grand Avenue isn't much better, but at least there's more variety.

Unattractive

Queen Victoria gazes out to sea at the bottom of Grand Avenue. She's flanked on her right by enormous blocks of mid-60s flats.

Mystery lady

Today's HDP is a bit of a mystery. The figure is in a little niche above some steps leading to a basement in Albemarle Mansions, Hove. She's small (about a metre high), not in very good repair and has a broken sword. I think she's a statue of St Joan of Arc (Jeanne d'Arc), but I can't find any connection either to Albemarle Mansions or to Hove. Can anyone help me out?
