C2 Read the article below and then decide if the following statements are True or False.

Tick (√) the correct answer.

Brighton, England

Brighton is a very busy and exciting town on the south coast of England. Over 250,000 people live

there and many of them are famous.

‘I think Brighton’s quite a romantic place, and it’s got a holiday feel about it … it still feels as if I’m on

holiday every day. Brighton has a unique atmosphere and a certain kind of people who wouldn’t live

anywhere else.’ Victoria Gould, the actress says.

What is special about Brighton’s history? Why did it become so well known?

Brighton was called Brighthelmston in the 6th century AD. It was a small village where 400 people

lived. By the end of the18th century, there were still no more than 2,000 people there because of

flooding, bad weather and attacks by the French.

But, in 1750 something dramatic happened! Dr Richard Russell of Lewes, a town nearby, said that

fresh sea air was very healthy and that it was good to drink and swim in sea water. This was a new

idea at the time and when people in London heard about this, people with a lot of money started to

travel down to the south coast.

Then, in 1783, the Prince of Wales (George IV) started to travel to Brighton, as it was now called, and

this is when the town really started to become popular. He built a fantastic palace, called the Royal

Pavilion, which tourists can still visit today. People also liked to go to Brighton and visit the three

piers there. When the railway between London and the town opened, people of all social classes

could visit Brighton.

Brighton still has a very special atmosphere today because it is full of classic old buildings, as well as

beautiful, modern ones. It is popular with both young and old people and has many pubs and cafés

close to the sea as well as many theatres, nightclubs and cinemas. Brighton is near the South Downs

where people can go for long, beautiful walks and it has recently become a city.
