History And Exploration Of Brighton, East Sussex 

Welcome To Brighton, East Sussex An Incredibly Diverse, Historical city.
In this video we will cover the History And Exploration Of Brighton, East Sussex
Archaeological evidence of settlement in the area dates back to the Neolithic, Bronze Age, Roman and Anglo-Saxon periods. The ancient settlement was originally known as “Brighthelmstone”, this was the cities official name right up until the early 19th century, it eventually adopted its preferred shortened version of what we know today as Brighton.
In the mid 1780s George, Prince of Wales, rented a small lodging house overlooking a fashionable promenade in Brighton. Around this time Brighton was developing from a decayed fishing town to an established seaside retreat for the rich and famous, being that it was close to London.
It also proved popular for the therapeutic health-giving sea water remedies made famous by Dr Richard Russell, a physician from nearby Lewes.
The prince had been advised by his physicians to benefit from Brighton’s fortunate climate and to try out the sea water treatments, which included ‘dipping’ (total body immersion into the salt sea water).
Brighton suited George who was a vain and extravagant man with a passion for fashion, the arts, architecture and good living. He rebelled against his strict upbringing and threw himself into a life of drinking, womanising and gambling.
So with his love of Brighton George hired architect Henry Holland to transform his Brighton lodging house into a modest villa which became known as the Marine Pavilion. With his love of visual arts and fascination with the mythical orient, George set about lavishly furnishing and decorating his seaside home. He especially chose Chinese export furniture and objects, and hand-painted Chinese wallpapers.
By 1815, George commissioned John Nash to begin the transformation from modest villa into the magnificent oriental palace that we see today.
George’s presence had an enormous impact on the prosperity and social development of Brighton from the 1780s.
Brighton’s population grew significantly, from around 3,620 inhabitants in 1786 to 40,634 in 1831.
Many of the handsome seafront squares and crescents that still stand today are attributable to the arrival of George IV and the fashionable Regency era.
Queen Victoria made her first visit to the Royal Pavilion in 1837 and this gesture of royal approval thrilled the people of Brighton.
