Brighton-England

Historical Brighton, South coast of England, Surviving foreign sea attacks, Declining population, Until the roads improved, And the train lines brought, More traveling visitors, Located one hour from London, Becoming a boarding point to France, Trading the port’s economy, Visitors started to arrive, King George, Constructed the royal pavilion, No expense spared, Glamorous! Eccentric glory, Later sold to the city, A mere fifty pounds, Tourism! Day-trippers, Bathing in the sea, Said to be healing, Was that true? Or did people just feel better, Away from reality, Buildings were erected, Great hotels, Attractions, The famous pier! Making it popular, Railways a much quicker easier way, A quirky town for people to frequent, Even called the hippest city, How far has it come? It’s gone all the way, Popular in every aspect, Cultural music and arts, Millions of overnight visitors, These modern times, Anything goes, Has the happiest and coolest beach, A gay-friendly city With fun in the sun, Coffee shops! Bars! Boutiques, Something for everyone, A great place! Brighton! Do come. 21/01/2017 Wendy Jae

Brighton is located in part of the most wondrous place in England - The south coast! Just one of a chain of coastal towns and villages that all link up to form a connected strip of sea-frontage that is truly amazing in every way. Really enjoyed the read, Wendy...Very well done! My very best regards. :) john
