Description
Brighton has undergone significant changes since its heyday as a fashionable resort in Georgian times and a popular destination for Londoners. In this photographic history, local historian Christopher Horlock charts the city's transformation from the end of the Victorian era to the present day.
Lost landmarks such as the Chain and West piers, Hanningtons department store, and the SS Brighton ice rink are featured alongside industrial premises, churches, schools, theatres, cinemas, trams, trolleybuses, and branch railways. This book presents a portrait of a city and way of life that has radically changed or disappeared today.
Appealing to those who live in Brighton or know it well, as well as those who remember it from previous decades, Lost Brighton offers a fascinating glimpse into the city's past, showing not just its buildings and streets but also the way of life that has been lost over time.
