This is clearly demonstrated in this fine panoramic view of Brighton from the West Pier, which was designed by Eugenius Birch and opened in 1866.
The soil is thin, sandy and infertile, but it suits slow-growing oak trees, birch and bracken.
Some parts of Victoria Park were left as woodland, and bracken, silver birch and oak thrive.
Oak, birch and beech trees predominate and there are over 400 species of flora and over 60 species of birds.
One big change, however, is that a donkey does not go to the nearby railway station to collect their luggage any more.
The original pier was designed by Eugenius Birch, and was one of the classic piers of the British seaside resort in its design.
It was built in 1863-66 to designs by Eugenius Birch and was gradually embellished over the years.
The big change is the addition, in the lee of the hill, of a well-designed theatre block by Kenneth W Reed and Associates of Harrow, along with a number of equally well-designed houses.
HAVING traced the big changes that led to today's modern town of 165,000 with its own suburbs and rush hour to match, it is now time to look towards tomorrow.
