About Brighton Beach

Brighton is a seaside resort in the unitary authority area of Brighton and Hove, in East Sussex, England, 47 miles (76 km) south of London. 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.

That is my concrete wedding ring. My husband has one the same, and the aggregate is pebbles from Brighton Beach, because we live in Brighton.

  2. He came out and the first question was, name something you'd take to the beach. He said, Turkey. Maybe he did. Maybe him and that turkey had great days down Brighton Beach. There's a Chinese quiz show at the moment where one of the most recent episodes, one of the people in there had to spell the word, Toad. Not only did they get it wrong, there were three judges, and they couldn't decide whether or not they'd spelled it right.
