West Hill
is an area of
Brighton and Hove
,
East Sussex
situated on the east-facing hill rising west from
Brighton railway station
towards

The area is mainly residential consisting of late 19th century housing of varying types: small terraced houses in the east of the area close to the station, and larger semi-detached villa-style properties to the west.
West Hill was designated a
