The Old Steine Gardens in Brighton, Brighton and Hove, East Sussex, England, adjacent to the Old Steine thoroughfare, are the site of several monuments of national historic significance. ==Background== The Old Steine was originally an open green space with a stream in the fishing village of Brighthelmstone.〔(My Brighton and Hove – Old Steine )〕 Local fishermen would store their boats and allow their nets to dry there. With the passage of time, however, the fishing community was excluded. The area was drained and enclosed, and visitors to the area would use the Steine to promenade. The Old Steine transformed from an area of occupation to one devoted to recreation, in the seaside resort of Brighton.〔(''Architecture and Field/Work'' )〕 By the eighteenth century, buildings started to appear on the Old Steine. The first building to appear on the eastern side of the Steine was a circulating library built in 1760.〔 The eastern lawns of the Royal Pavilion, originally built as a seaside retreat for George, Prince of Wales, were at one time considered part of the Old Steine.〔 The Old Steine thoroughfare, a one-way road system since 1926, encircles a 1.44 acre parcel of land that is triangular in shape, the Old Steine Gardens.〔〔(My Brighton and Hove – Old Steine – Sir John Cordy Burrows Statue – extracted from the ''Encyclopaedia of Brighton'' by Tim Carder, 1990 )〕 North Street bisects Old Steine Gardens.〔(Google Maps – Old Steine )〕 The southern section, the southern enclosure, is roughly square in shape, and contains the Victoria Fountain and the Statue of Sir John Cordy Burrows. Following the installation of the Victoria Fountain in 1846, the surrounding parcel of land was planted with gardens.〔(Public Sculptures of Sussex – Victoria Fountain )〕 On 21 July 1880, an oak tree was planted by mayor Henry Davey in the southwestern corner of the southern enclosure to commemorate the hundredth anniversary of the founding of Brighton's Sunday schools. One hundred years later, on 13 December 1980, another oak tree was planted by mayor John Leach in the southeastern corner of the southern enclosure to celebrate the bicentennial of the Sunday schools. However, that tree was one of the many casualties of a severe storm in October 1987.〔 The northern section of the Old Steine Gardens, the northern enclosure, is triangular in configuration, and contains the Brighton War Memorial and the Egyptian Campaign Memorial.
