Where they lived

Do you want to know where Magnus Volk the eccentric Brighton inventor lived?  Or maybe you are more interested in where the actor Lawrence Olivier or entertainer Max Miller, lived in Brighton?  Here we have a collection of famous and interesting people for whom Brighton was home, even if for some it was only for a short time.  We will be building up this section, so check back again for new additions.
