Photograph Collections: Peep into the Past

Well Under The Town Hall

A visit to the Police cells under the Town Hall.

Tagged as: Central Brighton, Civic Buildings

The tour guide took us on a little detour to show us a well that goes under the building. History of it unknown but guessed at being there at the time of the Priory that stood on the site of the Town Hall in the 1500s.
