Behind the scenes with staff and volunteers
On digging the foundations of the Prince’s riding-house, near to his Royal Highness’s Stables in Church Street, last week, a number of human bones, lying in a horizontal direction were found, and one undecayed, wood coffin. The ground had been formerly the burying place of the people called Quakers. Great care was taken that the ashes might be disturbed as little as possible.

This day, we hear, the Prince leaves Brighton, having come here only for a few days, by the advice of Dr Warren, for the benefit of the sea air. His Royal Highness has lost much of his corpulence since he was last at Brighton.

Last Monday the Prince of Wales arrived at Brighton, to be present at a draught of twenty men from his regiment, to accompany other draughts on the West-India service. On Wednesday his Royal Highness left that place but will shortly return there with his Household for the season.
