It was, notes the periodical, a sign of the town’s adaptability that it arranged all its important society functions in winter in the afternoons.

Another Phelp cartoon. The caption reads: ‘More stringent lighting regulations have been introduced this week in Brighton and Hove.’ (Brighton and Hove Society, 13 January 1916)

The regulations were tightened up at the beginning of 1916, prompting a review of the situation from the Brighton and Hove Society magazine, which stated:

‘The new lighting orders for the district have been received with excellent temper by the people of Brighton. It is realised that a coast-town is more exposed to the chances of war than an inland one, and that certain precautionary disabilities have to be endured. It is not pleasant to have to grope about in streets as dark as those of the most benighted of hamlets; to be slipping off kerbs, colliding with lampposts, and walking into walls. … from all we hear, the shops are busier during the daylight hours than they have ever been before. People, in short, are doing their shopping in the morning and the early afternoon.’
