Old Steine Places Overview: History, Culture & Facts about Old Steine

Old Steine history

---

The Old Steine was originally an open green with a stream running adjacent to the easternmost dwellings of Brighthelmstone. The area was used by local fishermen to lay out and dry their nets. Dr. Richard Russell’s 1750 paper on the health benefits of sea water helped to popularise Brighton.

Etymology

The word Steine comes from the Old English stoene, meaning “stony place” The name is thought to come from the number of large sarsen stones which once lay in the area. Many of the stones can still be seen at the base of the Steine’s Victoria Fountain.
