Description: | Brighton, originally known as Brighthelmstone, became popular as a seaside resort around 1750, following the medicinal use of seawater there by Dr Richard Russell. The patronage of George, Prince of Wales from 1783 assured the town?s success. The Palace Pier, shown here, was completed in 1901. It replaced Chain Pier, Brighton?s first pier, which closed in 1896 and was later destroyed by a storm. The snack stands and amusement arcades on the Palace Pier still cater for tourists today.
