==Locations== Apart from London, a number of English towns hold especial concentrations of Regency architecture. Several of the least-spoiled of these are new resort towns, attempting to emulate the success of [[Bath, Somerset]] and [[Buxton]], [[spa]]s which had been extensively developed in the mid-century Georgian period and the 1780s respectively. [[Brighton]] and other coastal resorts had become fashionable, and other towns that greatly expanded were [[Royal Leamington Spa]] in [[Warwickshire]], the [[Clifton, Bristol|Clifton]] suburb of [[Bristol]], [[Tunbridge Wells]], [[Newcastle upon Tyne]], and [[Cheltenham]], "perhaps the most complete surviving Regency town".<ref>Stong, 503, quoted; Norwich, 222β223</ref> Excellent examples of Regency properties dominate [[Brighton and Hove]] in [[East Sussex]]; in particular in its [[Kemp Town]] and [[Brunswick (Hove)]] estates.<ref>Norwich, 630β631</ref> <gallery> File:The west curve of Park Crescent, London - geograph.org.uk - 1524047.jpg|[[Park Crescent, London|Park Crescent]], London Image:regency Cheltenham.jpg|Regency houses, now municipal buildings in [[Cheltenham]] Image:The Parade -Leamington Spa - Warwickshire 13a2008.jpg|[[The Parade, Leamington Spa]] Image:SP3266 Lansdowne Crescent, Leamington Spa.jpg|Lansdowne Crescent, Leamington Spa File:59-Wellington-Road-Edgbaston.jpg|Suburban "villa" in [[Edgbaston]], a suburb of [[Birmingham]], 1820s File:Regency villas, Barton Terrace, Dawlish - geograph.org.uk - 1359775.jpg|Smaller [[semi-detached]] villas with Gothic details, [[Dawlish]] </gallery>
