Brighton, a seaside resort town on the south coast of England is part of the city of Brighton and Hove, East Sussex. One of the town’s nicknames is ‘The Queen of Watering Places’. Certain archaeological evidence in the area suggests traces of settlements that date back to the Bronze Age, Roman and Anglo-Saxon periods. Along with being established as a stylish seaside resort in the Georgian era, Brighton grew considerably popular as a health resort for sea bathing which was meant to cure illnesses. The major attractions like the West Pier, Brighton Palace Pier, Grand Hotel and Metropole Hotel (now Hilton) were built in the Victorian era. Created in 1883, another famous attraction here is the Volk’s electric railway, the world’s oldest operating electric railway. Called as UK’s hippiest city, Brighton is also the top seaside destination for overseas visitors. This week, travellers can join in the annual children parade which will witness more than 5000 children from 80 schools. With this year’s theme of paintings, the children will take the famous works of artists around the world off the canvas and create their own inventive interpretations.
