Four Brighton and Hove parks to receive special status to mark World War One centenary

Four open spaces in Brighton and Hove are set to be dedicated as Centenary Fields to mark the 100th anniversary of World War One.

Old Steine Gardens, the Chattri Memorial on the Downs north of Patcham, Easthill Park in Portslade and Patcham Peace Gardens are all being recommended for the special status.

The Centenary Fields initiative is a nationwide scheme being led by the Royal British Legion and Fields in Trust, aimed at securing permanent recreational spaces in honour of the memory of the millions of people who lost their lives in World War One.
