- 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.

That modest villa did have quite the transformation. The markets look fun to explore. The marina does look like a great place to spend an afternoon.
Thank you for the German explanation. I enjoyed watching you again. Well done ,Stephan and Yhana 🤠🇩🇪👍
The Brighton Pavilion would have to be a spot to visit if in the area. The marina area look like a great spot for some photos. Such a nice sunny day you had. We so miss the sun here lots of rain.
I love Brighton. Visited many times.

Wow so much to do in Brighton and like I said in your last video, so good to see you back after a while and this place is a complete contrast to the church video ! So beautiful though and with so much history. Thanks for the lovely look around in gorgeous weather. Loved the sea/ harbour area especially :) ~ Anna ❤👍
Thank you Anna, I need to catch up on everyone’s videos this week 😊 my plan for this evening and tomorrow 😊 Sending my best
A dip would be beneficial for me, the palace and piers are awesome ❤
Hi Stephen and Yhana,
The life of the wealth, George's charm is everywhere to be seen in the town.
What's the richness in architecture! His house is indeed one of the kind.
One of the photo suggests the luxury taste of his.
Fascinating to explore the town full of "Hippie" goods? I see some hippies in my town and I wonder if there is any difference.
Wow, how bright the sunshine is on the beach, I may need a pair of sunglasses to stroll.
I wish I could walk through inside of the George's Pavilion...
Thank you so much for brining this summer-like weather to my living room. Superb!
