Preface

. TN the Prospectus of this Work the Author stated, — " ' A Peep into the Past' is in no way intended to be a History of Brighton." In fact, the subjects treated of, though of historical interest, are such as lie to a great extent out of the domain of the historian proper. The Work originated in this wise. The Author, having contributed to the Brighton Herald some articles relating to Brighton in 1800, he, at the request of several esteemed friends, was induced to publish them, with additional matter of a kindred character, in a book form. Foremost among these friends was Crawford J. Pocock, Esq., to whom the Author's warmest acknowledgments are due ; that gentleman not only gave him the free use of his fine collection of drawings, prints, &c, relating to Brighton in the Olden Time, and access to his valuable collection of local historical memoranda, but also at all times the benefit of his judgment on important matters which arose during the progress of the Work through the Press.

To other friends, the Author likewise tenders his best thanks, and especially to the Proprietors of the Sussex Advertiser, Lewes ; to Messrs. Crunden and Sons, of Brighton ; and to J. O. Halliwell-Phillipps, Esq., of Hollingbury Copse, Brighton. With this brief Preface, the Author sends forth his Work to the public ; and, while asking for indulgence for any sins of omission or com mission, trusts that it may serve to throw some new light upon what is regarded by many as an obscure and barren subject, namely, the History of Brighton in the Olden Time. Had not special circumstances intervened, the Author would have wished to have added a chapter or two upon other interesting matters con nected with the Past, and especially upon some phases of local fashionable life and character ; but whether or no he will be able to do so in the future, must depend upon time and opportunity.

Introduction

. BRIGHTHELMSTON, the Object of this Directory, is a Market Town in the County of Sussex, situated on the Coast of that County, which forms a Part of the Southern Boundary of this Island of Great Britain. It is distant from Rye, the Eastern Extremity of the County, 45 Miles ; from Emsworth, the Western Extremity, 38 Miles ; from Crawley, the Northern Extremity, 23 Miles ; from Chichester, the Metropolis of the County, about 30 Miles ; and from London, the Metropolis of the Kingdom, 54, Miles. Brighthelmston is situated in 50 deg. 55 min. North Latitude, and nearly 3 min. Westward of the Meridian of London ; distant from Dieppe, the nearest French Port, about 75 miles ; and from Paris, the Metropolis of France, 195 miles. The Ancient History of the Town of Brighthelmston is but imperfect and uncertain ; much of what is perfect and certain, is contained in the History of it ; a Work of considerable Credit and Information, edited in 1794, by one of the Printers of this Directory : the Modern History of it, is contained in the same Work, to which the Enquirer is referred, as superseding the Necessity or Utility of any regular historical Detail in these Pages.

In the year 1313, a Charter was obtained to hold a Weekly Market in the Town of Bright helmston on a Thursday, and in 1772, an Act of Parliament for a Daily Market, (Sunday excepted) which it is now, and certainly the best Market in the County. Previous to the Year 1770, the Town consisted of only Seven principal Streets, and of less than 600 Houses, the number of Inhabitants was then about 2500. In 1794, there were Fifteen Streets, the number of Houses was upwards of 1200, and the number of Inhabitants 5600. The present Town consists of Eighteen Streets, containing about 1500 Houses, and the number of Inhabitants is estimated at 7000 and upwards. The principal Public Buildings in Brighthelmston are, the Public Assembly Rooms, the Theatre, and the Baths. The PUBLIC ROOMS at the Castle Tavern, in Castle-square, and the Old Ship Tavern, in Ship-street, open early in July for the Season.
