This photograph shows the newly built promenade from Cannon Place to Regency Square. Until the late 1860’s this finished in a low gravel bank which ran from the footway to the beach and which is clearly seen in the earlier photograph on the next page.
Even at this period most of these houses were used as lodging houses. Behind those beyond Queensbury mews was a large open space used by the Volunteers for training but later converted to a roller skating rink.
