Europe Collection 2
Brighton's popularity as a resort town
was enhanced when the Prince Regent (later King George IV) decided to
enlarge a modest house into what we know today as Brighton Pavillion.
This monument to "Indian Gothic" was host to George and his friends,
well away from what George considered his father's "stuffy" Court.
Today, the Pavillion is open to the public and is owned by the City of
Brighton. The pebble beach welcomes sun-worshipers and the
promenade there boasts a lovely merry-go-round.
