On Thursday 5th October, Brighton’s North Laine Traders Association launched their new web site at the award winning Jubilee Library. 80 invited guests including Brighton M.P. David Lepper watched as Deputy Mayor Bob Carden launched the site with a click of a mouse. The website www.northlaine.co.uk enables customers and visitors to browse the famous North Laine area of Brighton and see the cosmopolitan mix of unusual, often unique and sometimes downright wacky shops and restaurants. From the comfort of their own home visitors and customers can explore the 400+ unique independent retailers that make up North Laine.
“The website: www.northlaine.co.uk is easy to navigate and provides potential visitors and shoppers with an informative and colourful description of each of the streets, in addition to comprehensive searches for individual shops based on name, category or street. The website has cleverly catered for all visitors arriving into or leaving Brighton by train, car, bus or taxi by providing directions, a brief overview of services provided, and contact details for the relevant transport companies and car park providers”.

“Once again traders in the North Laine are taking the initiative with a new way to help raise the profile of the area as a place in which to shop and relax, and boost their own enterprises. This website is another important step to help the mainly small independent businesses in this lively and unique part of the city.”
David Lepper M.P.
The website was designed by local designer Brian Pedley who has spent the summer collating and photographing North Laine. We believe Brian has created a brilliant, informative, customer friendly site, made easy to navigate by using the interactive map.
As a group of small independent retailers we obviously need your support to let people know that we have the best selection of small shops on the south coast! With e-commerce growing at such a large rate this is the first step towards small traders competing with the large multiples and often offering a better service.
