 Brighton

|
| Brighton,
with its sister town Hove, where in the 18th century the holiday
resort led the way to sea bathing. It became popular by the
visits of the Prince of Wales, later George IV, in 1784, transforming
the original village of Brighthelmstone. He kept his secret
wife, Mrs Fitzherbert, here and commuted to London, as people
do now.
The old Brighton town
centre is preserved as The Lanes, small cottages in twisting
lanes, brimming with antique shops, bookshops, and cafe's.
The Regency and Victorian
buildings show its popularity over the years, and the town
has kept its magnetism, being the scene of Sunday day trips
from Mods and Rockers to today.
The town was immortalized
by Graham Green in his book Brighton Rock.
Hotels, restaurant's,
cafe's ands guest houses line the promenade above the beach.
Theatres, nightclubs,
lively !, piers, including Palace Pier, marina, and a racecourse,
Kemp Town, are all here, with shops running up the hills towards
the railway station.
Hove is quieter, to
the West along the coast.
Lots of tourist attractions
to see and things do in the town and the surrounding area,
with the South Downs, , but it does get busy. Tourist Information
Centre.
Take the Volks railway,
electric, along the sea front, from the pier it goes
west towards Rottingdean past the marina.
