BRIGHTON BEACH AND KINGS ROAD

Rope houses on the beach. These were used by the Fishermen for storage of ropes and nets. The scene is a little to the east of the fishmarket and the buildings in the background now form part of the Queens Hotel. The period is probably during the 1870s. Kings Road was widened again in 1886 and at this time the present cast iron ones replaced the old wooden railings, here shown.
