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 2 we discuss Arts & Culture and Urban Landscape

Following from part 1, where we learned how Brighton became a top seaside resort, we talk about its cultural influence: a place of music, film, LGBT culture and food.  We then discuss the architecture of Brighton including the Royal Pavilion and piers and the regency estates.
