Secret Brighton offers a unique insight into the lesser-known aspects of this intriguing city's history. By exploring the hidden corners and forgotten stories behind its development, readers can gain a fresh understanding of Brighton's complex past.

The book delves beneath the surface to reveal the surprising history of the Prince Regent's visits to what is now a council estate, as well as the plans for hotels and piers during the First World War. It also uncovers literary secrets, including the connection between a bestselling author from Brighton and Orson Welles' former cleaner.

Written by local historian Kevin Newman, Secret Brighton takes readers on a fascinating journey through Brighton's murky past, shedding new light on this often-overlooked city.
