Brighton – the regency city by the sea, which grew from a sleepy fishing town into a centre of Georgian leisure, initially as a spa town, but later as a centre for entertainment favoured by the Prince Regent himself. As train loads of tourists replaced royalty, Brighton grew into one of England’s largest Victorian seaside resorts.
In part 1 we discuss Politics and War, and Science and Industry.
In this episode we explore the royal connections, and the sometimes dubious medicinal industry that attracted visitors in the 18th century. Perhaps less well known, is Brighton’s connection with an earlier King and one of the greatest escapes of all time.
The second episode will cover Culture and the Urban Landscape of Brighton, and will be released in two weeks.
