History
In 1980, the seaside town of Brighton opened a very unusual attraction.
It was the first British beach dedicated to nudists.
The opening followed a passionate battle between two local politicians and caused controversy among some locals.
In 2011, Madeleine Morris spoke to nudist enthusiasts and those who preferred to keep their clothes firmly on.
