When we first opened our office in 1825, George IV was on the throne, a law was passed establishing a maximum of 12 hours work per day for children under 16 and summer temperatures were breaking records. The patronage of royalty and the growing fashion for sea-bathing, which had established Brighton as a popular resort in the mid 18th century, led to an increasing influx of people, the establishment of a number of imposing seafront hotels and expanding housing stock. Our friendly, laidback, cosmopolitan city with its buzzy urban village vibe has never looked back.
