I. THE STORY OF A TOWN
Brighton is the largest seaside resort in the south-east of England.
At first the town was a fishing village and did not become popular until about 1800. Rich
people began to visit Brighton in large numbers and when King George IV decided to build a
house there, it became very fashionable. The King continued to visit it until 1827, but Queen
Victoria did not like the house.

It is open to the public every day and there is a special exhibition there in the summer.
Brighton offers all kinds of entertainment, from concerts and plays in the theatre to local
attractions like the Aquarium.
The area of old houses known as The Lanes is a very attractive shopping centre, where visitors
can buy souvenirs and antiques. The houses were once lived in by fishermen but have now been
converted into shops. Not far from The Lanes is a modern shopping centre with licensed
restaurants and tables outdoors where you can enjoy a drink in good weather.
