Man who brought curry and shampoo to UK honoured

The gravestone of a pioneering Anglo-Indian man, who is claimed to have introduced curry and shampoo to the UK, has been restored.

Sake Deen Mahomed is also reported to have been the first Indian to publish a book in English.

Mr Mahomed, who lived in Brighton for four decades on Grand Parade, passed away in 1851 and was buried at St Nicholas’ Churchyard.

The Regency Society of Brighton and Hove (RSBH) said his grave had become overgrown and in a state of disrepair.
