About
The Seaside Heritage Network are delighted to collaborate with Dr Sue Berry to explore and celebrate the heritage of Brighton's Royal Pavilion and the early development of the resort.
From the 1750s to c1820, the Steine was Brightons prom. This explains the location of the Pavilion, jammed between the busy Steine and East Street, the old main road out of Brighton until Prinny managed to close it and build New Road. This walk will explore the heart of Brightons early resort development. Notes will be provided.
