Brilliantly researched and written, this is the definitive history of the city. Divided into five sections, Fishermen and Farmers, Princes and Palaces, Late Georgian, Victorian Marvels and Mysteries, and Battle Scene and Transformation, it shows how Brighton grew from a small fishing village. For almost 30 years Clifford Musgrave was the director of the Royal Pavilion, The Brighton Library, Art Gallery, and Museum. In 1962 Faber and Faber commissioned him to write a comprehensive history of the town. It was published in 1970 to much acclaim.
