More than 20 years have passed since the southern end of the West Pier closed because of its dangerous conditions.


Flames engulfed the West Pier after an arson attack. There were reports that shortly before the fire started a speedboat was seen moving smartly away from the pier.

The West Pier Trust aimed to have the pier completely restored and open to the public by the end of the century at a cost of £15,000,000.
A selection of my photographs available mounted from just £10 each.

Work has now commenced on controversial plans to alter the traffic flow and accessibility of the area between St. Peter’s and Pool Valley.

Days are numbered for most of the buildings along Pelham Terrace, Lewes Road.

Demolition has started of the old Pink Coconut Night Club.

Built in 1933. Closed as a cinema in the late 1970s, it became a Bingo Hall. This closed in 1997.
A fantastic place to share your old Brighton pics and memories with other Brightonians.
