About Brighton. Brighton
is a town in the city of Brighton and Hove (formed from the towns of
Brighton, Hove, Portslade and several other villages) in East Sussex
on the south coast of England. However, Brighton and Hove is not
part of the non-metropolitan county of East Sussex, but it is still
part of the ceremonial county of East Sussex.
The ancient settlement of Brighthelmston dates from before the
Domesday Book (1086), but it emerged as a health resort during the
18th Century and became a destination for day-trippers after the
arrival of the railway in 1841. Brighton experienced rapid
population growth reaching a peak of over 160,000 by 1961. Modern
Brighton forms part of a conurbation stretching along the coast,
with a population of around 480,000.
Eight million tourists a year visit Brighton. The town also has a
substantial business conference industry regularly hosting the
Labour Party, Conservative Party and Trade Union annual Conferences.
Brighton has two universities and a medical school.
In the Domesday Book, Brighton was called Bristelmestune and a rent
of 4,000 herring was established. In June 1514 Brighthelmstone was
burnt to the ground by French raiders during a war between England
and France. Only part of the St Nicholas Church and the street
pattern of the area now known as "The Lanes" survived. The first
drawing of Brighthelmstone was made in 1545 and depicts what is
believed to be the raid of 1514. During the 1740s and 1750s, Dr
Richard Russell of Lewes began prescribing seawater at Brighton. By
1780, development of the Georgian terraces had started and the
fishing village became the fashionable resort of Brighton. Growth of
the town was further encouraged by the patronage of the Prince
Regent (later King George IV) after his first visit in 1783. He
spent much of his leisure time in the town and constructed the Royal
Pavilion during the early part of his Regency.
The arrival of the railway in 1841 brought Brighton within the reach
of day-trippers from London and population growth from around 7,000
in 1801 to over 120,000 by 1901.[6] The Victorian era saw the
building of many major attractions including the Grand Hotel (1864),
the West Pier (1866) and the Palace Pier (1899).
After boundary changes between 1873 and 1952, the land area of
Brighton increased from 1,640 acres (7 km˛) in 1854 to 14,347 acres
(58 km˛) in 1952. New housing estates were established in the
acquired areas including Moulsecoomb, Bevendean, Coldean and
Whitehawk. The major expansion of 1928 also incorporated the
villages of Patcham, Ovingdean and Rottingdean, and much council
housing was built in parts of Woodingdean after the Second World
War.
More recently, gentrification of much of Brighton has seen a return
of the fashionable image which characterised the growth of the
Regency period. Recent housing in the North Laine, for instance, has
been designed in keeping with the area.
In 1997 Brighton and Hove were joined to form the unitary authority
of Brighton and Hove, which was granted city status by Queen
Elizabeth II as part of the millennium celebrations in 2000.
