* Brighton /ˈbraɪtən/ (About this sound listen) is a seaside resort on the south coast of England. It is part
of the city of Brighton and Hove and the ceremonial county of East Sussex, within the historic county of
Sussex.
Archaeological evidence of settlement in the area dates back to the Bronze Age, Roman and Anglo-Saxon
periods. The ancient settlement of "Brighthelmstone" was documented in the Domesday Book (1086).
The town's importance grew in the Middle Ages as the Old Town developed, but it languished in the early
modern period, affected by foreign attacks, storms, a suffering economy and a declining population.
Brighton began to attract more visitors following improved road transport to London and becoming a
boarding point for boats travelling to France. The town also developed in popularity as a health resort for
sea bathing as a purported cure for illnesses.
