Brighton is more than a beach and a view. Streets remember what we forget. Alderman Henry Martin traces the Brighton town history from the earliest known period to his own day, then ranges outward to the ring of places within twelve miles that shaped and were shaped by the town. Written as a confident local history reference and an antiquarian history book with civic pride and a researcher's eye, this volume reads as a historical gazetteer guide to East Sussex coastal towns and lanes: names, landmarks, institutions, and the steady accumulation of change. Follow the rise of a fashionable shore and the forces behind seaside resort development, set against the wider texture of Sussex villages history. For family historians, it doubles as a genealogy research resource: a grounded companion for Brighton ancestry research, attentive to the people, parishes, and place-names that anchor Victorian Brighton England. Collectors of topographical histories of England will recognise its period voice and meticulous scope, while curious visitors will find a richly mapped sense of what lies beyond the promenade. Republished by Alpha Editions in a careful modern edition, this volume preserves the spirit of the original while making it effortless to enjoy today -- a heritage title prepared for readers and collectors alike, and a welcome addition to any England county histories collection.
