Rich and Famous and Infamous From fishing village to seaside city. How and why did this happen? Find out about Dr Russells revolting "seawater cure" ,what the early visitors got up to, and how the Prince Regent in his Royal Pavilion made all the difference. Murder She Says Years ago, the national press dubbed Brighton "The Queen of the Slaughtering Places", such was it's notoriety. It has the dubious distinction of being the only city in the country in which a Chief Constable was murdered in his own police station, and where two bodies in trunks have been discovered within weeks of each other. This talk includes murders from two centuries of Brighton's past, and is complementary to the Murder and Mysteries Walk. It details the crimes....and the punishments. And in case you're wondering, no, this talk does not use slides!

This slide talk explores the two levels, the upper road and the lower traffic free esplanade. For more details see More Walks...
