Brighton

Archaeological evidence of settlement in the area dates back to the Bronze Age, Roman and Anglo-Saxon periods.

The town also developed in popularity as a health resort for sea bathing as a purported cure for illnesses. In the Georgian era, Brighton developed as a highly fashionable seaside resort, encouraged by the patronage of the Prince Regent, later King George IV, who spent ...
