ON THIS SITE STOOD RUSSELL HOUSE WHERE LIVED FROM 1759 RICHARD, RUSSELL. M.D.,F.R.S. IF YOU SEEK HIS MONUMENT LOOK AROUND Number one is located on the Albion Hotel and identifies the former site of Russell's house. Number two is the memorial to Russell in South Mailing Church, Lewes, where he lies buried. Comment: The Albion Hotel plaque is misleading in that it incorrectly states that Russell lived there from 1759. Reference to the South Mailing memorial indicates that this was the year of his death. Such errors typify the confusion that exists about the importance of Russell in the development of seaside tourism from that of the spa resorts. Russell's true influence is probably summed up best by the words of his son William, quoted by Musgrave p56. Brighthelmstone was confess by all T' abound with females fair But more so since fam'd Russel has Preferred the waters there. Then fly that dangerous town ye swains, For fear ye shall endure A pain from some bright sparkling eye Which Russell's skill can't cure. The venerable doctor would no doubt have been astonished to learn in retrospect that Brighton's eventual fame was established on being a pleasure dome rather than innovative medicine. Also Russel is spelt with one L in his book. Someone could not even get his name right! 0-0-0-0-0- Email: bruce@thespas.co.uk (click here to send an email) ADDITIONAL INFORMATION CLICK THE FISH BELOW TO EXTEND YOUR EXPLORATION OF BRIGHTON  Brighton's Past on Shifting Sands Part ONE.
