Introducing myself:
As a local history researcher in Brighton, I have become fascinated by the lives of Brighton people who feature in public records, but whose private lives remain untold.
For your interest and entertainment, I will reveal stories of Brighton people who were either celebrated or condemned in the press, and by fact and fiction writers. I will attempt to show that people lived far more complex lives than the usual labels of ‘Gentleman’, ‘Brothel Keeper’, ‘Philanthropist’ etc might imply. By looking at official records, newspaper reports, wills, and family histories, I hope to present you with some surprises and quite a few unsolved mysteries.
