View of the Pavilion Grounds, from the north, in 1922; at that time the old elm trees, now on the pavement, were inside the railing. These trees with masses of shrubs almost entirely excluded a view of the lawns.
In 1921, Brighton Corporation in order to widen the approaches to the sea, decided to take a portion of the grounds for road widening. The roadway of Pavilion Parade and the Old Steine on the west side, was increased by an average width of twenty feet.
This photograph was taken at the corner of Church Street and in the far distance can be seen the War Memorial.
