Georgian Brighton Brighton was a decayed seafaring town in 1740, but by 1780 it had been transformed into a prosperous seaside resort that attracted two brothers of George III and many other famous people. When George, Prince of Wales, the eldest son of George III, made his first visit in 1783, Brighton was already a fashionable place to visit. By 1800, this resort was Britain's largest and most popular seaside watering place, a status that was maintained into the 20th century. Brighton emerged as a Georgian seaside resort during the key period of British resort development, between about 1730 and 1780. Brighton's main competitors, Margate, Scarborough and Weymouth, were all developing at a similar pace, with Hastings lagging a little behind them. After 1780, however, Brighton had surpassed her competitors and had the full panoply of resort facilities. This charming and magnificently illustrated book explores why these resorts developed when they did, but also why Brighton surged ahead. Between 1780 and 1820 the most important theme in Brighton's story is the development of new suburbs to accommodate the influx of visitors that enabled the town to prosper. Many people were needed to supply both specialist resort facilities and day-to-day requirements. Without the ability to expand, Brighton would have failed to develop as a resort. Many small businesses developed as the town prospered and both men and women became owners of lodging houses to let. From 1820, the expectations of visitors changed, and the heyday of Georgian seaside resorts was at an end. This engaging narrative will be of interest to Brighton's residents and visitors alike, and the splendidly reproduced images will evoke an era gone by for local historians everywhere.
