Description

Discover the lives of people who lived in very different times and their tales of bravery and achievement. All this on a route which takes you from the grandeur of the seafront, through the quaint old Lanes and finishing in the gay district of Kemptown. We take in over 200 years of history including Regency Dandies, 1950s lesbian and gay life, and political activism. We learn about Anne Lister's trip to Brighton (subject of BBC/HBO series Gentleman Jack), as well as Lord Byron, Oscar Wilde and Dusty Springfield. We also uncover some extraordinary unsung heroes, including a pioneering doctor who lived as a man long before women were allowed to practice medicine, an Edwardian 'drag king' and a 'same-sex' marriage in 1923.
