ABOUT Brighton

Brighton is a seaside resort town located within the historic county of Sussex with a population of around 289,200 according to mid-2016 survey. It is situated on the southern coast of England and lies between the South Downs to the north and the English Channel to the south. The importance of the town grew with the development of the old town in the middle ages, but it has become dull and severally affected by foreign attacks and storms in the early modern period. The economy and population of the city faced a huge decline in that era. The consequences of it lead to loss of jobs and thus people started migrating from here in search of work.

The town flourished as a fashionable seaside resort and major tourism centre with the arrival of railways in 1841. The town also became a boarding point for boats travelling to France and also gained popularity after enhanced road transport to London. The town began to attract more visitors for sea bathing health resort provide the natural cure for illnesses and it became a popular seaside destination for foreign tourists. It was the time when people coming back to the same place. It was a very happy moment for them because at least the city gave them chance to reside one more time.

Roman period abandoned in early 4th century and Anglo-Saxons had taken the control and area formed part of the Kingdom of Sussex in the late 5th century. The town grew its importance in the Norman era and became Sussex’s most populous town with the arrival of mackerel fishing industry.

More foreign attacks, storms, and establishment of significant nearby port, Shoreham affected the growth of the city leading to declining population and suffering economy. The city had gone through a rapid transformation in the 17th century after Dr Richard Russell encouraged many patients to drink and bath in seawater and take the cure for illnesses in the sea of Brighton.
