Abstract:
In 1918-19 Brighton was hit by three waves of the 'Spanish influenza' pandemic. A comparatively mild outbreak in July and early August 1918 was followed in October and November by a devastating and lethal outbreak. The epidemic culminated in a less deadly recrudescence in February and March 1919. As with much of Britain, the Brighton press generally played down the magnitude of the epidemic. But the high morbidity caused both social and economic disruption. This article considers how Brighton was affected by the pandemic and how the local authorities responded.

Abstract:
Brighton's transition from a town with a broadly fishing- and maritime-based economy to one of the country's principal seaside resorts has been widely studied. However, the mechanisms by which the town sustained the increasing number of visitors are less well understood. In the eighteenth century, long before hotels and boarding houses became commonplace, the visitor economy of the town was heavily underpinned by local residents providing accommodation for visitors. This could take the form of renting spare rooms in their own houses (lodgings), or entire houses (lodging houses). They were supplemented to a much lesser extent by inns and boarding houses, the precursors of hotels. The situation was such that in 1799 one-third of the 1200 houses in the town provided visitor accommodation of some description. This paper looks at the role that the residents and speculators played in the development of Brighton's accommodation sector.

Falmer Hill in the prehistoric and Romano-British periods: A Reappraisal., by Jaime Kaminski, published 2013 in Sussex Archæological Collections (vol. 151, article) accessible at: W.S.R.O. [Lib 18616] & The Keep [LIB/507730] & S.A.S. library   View Online
Abstract:
During the 1980s, ploughing on former downland on the upper north face of Falmer Hill began to expose a substantial new enclosure site. This ditched enclosure survives only as a ploughed-down earthwork. When considered in conjunction with the known archaeology of the area, it becomes apparent that Falmer Hill is a much more significant area than at first appears. Topographically the hill is sited in a strategic location at the junction of north-south and east-west communication routes. Much of the archaeology revealed by aerial photography overlooks the main east-west dry valley.
