Kemp Town

• Thomas Reed Kemp thought of a scheme. Houses in
• Brighton were not elegant enough for the truly
  affluent. Kemp financed architects Charles Busby
  and Amon Wilde to design the original Kemp town
  estate in open country to the east of Brighton.

Royal Pavilion

• The Royal Pavilion was a former seaside residence
  of King George lV. During the first world war,
  the Royal Pavilion complex was used as a military
  hospital for wounded soldiers. Between 1914 and
  1916 over 4,000 Indian patients passed through
  the hospital.

The Theatre Royal

• In 1807 the Theatre Royal opens its doors for the
  first time. The Theatre Royal opened properly in
  1884. In 1992 the Victorian era auditorium was
  restored. There were 460 seats in the entire
  theatre.

The 1841 Railway

• The railway in 1841 was designed by David Mocatta
  the famous lacy iron work, matched by the design
  of the street lights, all dates from this later
  period.

The West Pier

• The west pier was built in 1866 and collapsed
  fairly recently in 2002.The Victorians loved
  visiting the seaside.
• Their new steam railways made it easier to get
  there. Brighton (Brighthelmstone) was one of the
  most popular seaside towns.

8
The Volks Railway

• The Volks railway opened in August 1883 in
  Brighton. It was the first electrified line in
  the country, for this reason alone, the history
  of this famous little rail is well worth
  remembering. The inventor was Mangus Volks.

Conclusion

• We think the Victorian period had the most impact
  on Brighton because they invented the railway and
  the west pier.
