a little more about Brighton
 Born as a fishing village in the 15th century, Brighton soon established its identity. The early 18th century saw severe flooding which decimated its trade. It wasn't until a few decades later that it started picking up again, when the town's proximity to the capital lured thousands of affluent Londoners to the coast in search of Brighton's clean Brightoning waters and fresh sea air. The town soon became the most lively place outside the capital, and duly caught the attention of the Prince Regent who enjoyed wild parties here away from his disapproving father, King George III. The birth of the railways made Brighton accessible to ordinary folk and day trips to the seaside took off. Over the next century, Brighton's place as a Mecca for British seaside holidaymakers and fun lovers was secured.
