Brighton

:''This article is about the English city; for other places called ''Brighton'', see Brighton (disambiguation).'' Brighton in East Sussex is one of the largest and most famous seaside resorts in England. Brighton and Hove form a single conurbation but Brighton's lively atmosphere is a direct contrast to its near neighbour which has quieter and more refined character. The two boroughs were joined together to form the unitary authority of Brighton and Hove in 1997, which in 2000 was granted city status.

Early history

While any British history predating the first mentions by literate Romans is, by definition, consigned to an obscured landscape known intimidatingly as 'prehistory', a few things are known about the area. Whitehawk Camp — a natural viewpoint — is bisected by Manor Road. The centre of this early Neolithic causewayed enclosure c.3500BC is someway toward the aerial mast on the south side of Manor Road, opposite the grandstand. There are four concentric circles of ditches and mounds, broken or 'causewayed' in many places. Significant vestiges of the mounds remain and you can trace their arc with the eye. Regrettably, in an act of monumental philistinism the 'Council' decreed the building of a new housing estate in the early nineties over the South Eastern portion of the enclosure. Consequently, aside from the damage to the archeology, the panoramic view has been lost and the atmosphere of the site all but destroyed. More of prehistoric Brighton and Hove can be observed just north of the small retail park on Old Shoreham Road, built over the site of the town's football ground in the late 1990's, where you can visit The Goldstone. There is a plaque telling us it was believed to be in use (ceremonial? geomantic?) around 2000BC. A standing stone circle nearby (today's Hove Park) is documented up to 1820, when the farmer had had one too many 'antiquarians' traipsing over his crop and buried the stones. After a considerable

Brighton

would it be worth putting the city's coat of arms somewhere in the article? Would it be worth updating the picture of the west pier to it's current state? If so, how would one go about doing this, replacing the picture in the database, or adding a new one (leaving the picture current there with no article - I don't know if these can be picked up on). I might also go about with a camera and take pictures of the major brighton landmarks, and add to the article. Is this a good Idea, or is there some limit of only a picture or two per page? Thanks, - Xgkkp 11:38, 1 Jun 2004 (UTC) Given the detail regarding the collapses and other stuff I think ther West Pier probably deserves it;s own article (or maybe shared with the Palace Pier). Mintguy (T) 16:27, 24 Jun 2004 (UTC) yeah, i thought that and was planning to anyway at some point. - Xgkkp 18:12, 28 Jun 2004 (UTC)

Green MP

:''...and has long been rumoured to be the first British city with a respectable chance of electing a Green MP'' Do we have a source for these rumors, if not can we remove the statement. Edward 09:08, 26 Oct 2004 (UTC) :It's a vaguely valid comment, but I think it should be removed. Encyclopaedias shouldn't speculate about future events. Mintguy (T) 09:37, 26 Oct 2004 (UTC) :It stems from the fact that the Brighton Pavilion (constituency) has the Green Party's strongest vote (about 3,000) -- Joolz 23:27, 30 Apr 2005 (UTC) ::3rd place beating the Liberal Democrats with 9,571 votes and 22.0% of the vote in 2005, byt far the best Green result. Jooler 07:16, 15 May 2005 (UTC) ---- Anybody know if i could fnd any information on the Brighton riots regarding the mods and rockers conflicts? :Brighton's council is one of the greenest in the country with a comprehensive recylcling and waste managment schemes leading to record council tax. the labour mp drives a autogas powered car and the city has a cycle lane network as well as excelent public transport.
