About this book
John Ackerson Erredge's history of Brighton, under its old name Brighthelmston, came out in monthly numbers and was interrupted when the author died suddenly. His sons put together the last pages from his papers; the book is dated 1862. A chronological table of local events goes with it.
The thirty-one chapters begin with the Romans and the town's geology, climate and early history, then take up the old customs, the French attack of 1545, fortifications and the sea's incursions, St. Nicholas church, Deryk Carver and the escape of Charles II. Later ones cover the birds and wild flowers of the neighbourhood, the Steine, theatres, the Marine Pavilion, the race-course, pastimes, charities, churches, and Hove.
