More about this scene
The Steine, originally marshy ground, became the focus of early Brighton development as houses were built for the fashionable visitors. The Pavilion fronted the Steine, and on the east side opposite are some excellent late 18th-century houses amid taller Victorian ones, but mostly single houses rather than terraces; the bow fronts are earlier than the canted bay windows. The centrepiece of Old Steine, the southern end, is the Victoria Fountain, an elaborate cast iron fountain supported on three intertwined dolphins, placed here by Henry Wilds in 1846 and restored in 1994.
