WEST BATTERY, KINGS ROAD. 1858

These photographs (they are of course only copies) of 1858 must have been taken not long before the demolition of the West Battery for it was in that year that it was removed. The lower photograph (see JG_02_00122) which, unusually, looks from the west to east, is particularly of interest because it shows the gun magazine (extreme left) and also the extent of the 1846 widening of the promenade (see the protruding wooden railings masking part of the Chain Pier). This widening was from West Street to the Battery.
