Sights in Brighton

There is a lot to see in this city. The beach, the clubs and all the wonderful graffiti. Good people and lots of good music.

Preston Manor

A nice old house with lots of nice old junk. It may seem a bit expensive to some …. but it’s an interesting place to go and check out. It’ll make you want to have your own house like it.

Brighton Pavilion

George, the Prince of Wales and Prince Regent (he became King George IV) and his morganatic wife, bought a small farm house in what was then the village of Brighthelmstone. “Prinny’s” penchant for sea bathing helped to transform this small rural community into a mecca of high society.

Over a period of nearly fifty years, from 1783 (when he was only 21) to his death in 1830, George transformed the simple home. First, the farmhouse was incorporated into the Marine Pavilion. In 1803, William Porden built the huge Royal Stables in the Indian style, which soon dwarfed the Pavilion itself. Finally, John Nash took seven years to add sumptuous state rooms to the Pavilion and recreate the exterior into the Indian/Chinese edifice we see today.
