MARINE PARADE FROM THE CHAIN PIER

These two panoramic photographs probably date from the late 1860s. They show the stretch of Marine Parade from Rock Gardens almost to Kemp Town. On the corner of Charlotte Street can be seen the building which was later demolished and replaced by the red brick Crest Hotel. Behind Royal Crescent note the bare Freshfield Road, then just an alternative way to the Workhouse and Racecourse. At the foot of the sea wall were huge mounds of chalk and earth dumped there years before and cleared away in 1872, when Madeira Drive was projected.
