KINGS ROAD

Three photographs of 1870, showing Kings Road almost devoid of traffic and of people. In the distance, the Chain Pier. The promenade was then quite narrow, being widened to its present width in 1886. At the far end of Kings Road can be seen Brill’s Baths, erected in 1869, while the building under construction was the Clarendon Hotel at the corner of East Street which replaced an old lodging houses known as Clarendon Mansion. It is this building which dates the photographs because it is well known that it was built in 1870.
