EDITORS COMMENTS
Brighton's West Pier, Sussex, England, circa 1900: A Glimpse into the Past This evocative photograph captures the grandeur and charm of Brighton's West Pier as it stood in the early 20th century. Located in the vibrant seaside town of Brighton, in the county of East Sussex, England, the pier has been a beloved landmark and a symbol of the town's rich history for over a century. Built between 1866 and 1869, the West Pier was a marvel of engineering and design, stretching out into the English Channel for a quarter of a mile. The pier was adorned with elegant pavilions, amusement arcades, and dance halls, attracting visitors from far and wide. The pier's grand opening in 1866 was a grand affair, with a procession of over 10,000 people making their way to the pier to celebrate its opening. This photograph, taken circa 1900, offers a glimpse into the past, showcasing the pier's intricate details and the hustle and bustle of activity on the shoreline. The pier's ornate ironwork, the tall ships in the distance, and the people strolling along the beach all contribute to the scene's timeless beauty. Sadly, the West Pier, like many piers of its era, has seen better days. A fire in 2003 caused significant damage, and the pier has been closed to the public ever since. However, efforts are underway to restore the pier to its former glory, and it remains a cherished part of Brighton's history and identity. This photograph is a reminder of the pier's rich past and the many memories it has created for generations of visitors. It invites us to imagine the sights, sounds, and smells of a bygone era and to appreciate the enduring allure of the seaside town of Brighton.
