Brighton

Oh I Do Like To Be Beside The Seaside!



Brighton, on the south coast of England, on a sweltering hot day is such fun ... do take a look! I love the quirky shops, the beautiful gardens and the Royal Pavilion, and the beach, and the food, oh ... and all of it. We were lucky enough to visit on a beautiful sunny day - the best of the year so far.

The Royal Pavilion Gardens

 

 

 

 

Remains of The West Pier

 

 

 

 

 

Brighton Pavilion built in 1787 for George, Prince of Wales as a seaside retreat, he

 was later to become Prince Regent in 1811 and then George 1V in 1821: (b1762 - d1830)

 The building was later redesigned and extended in 1815 by the architect John Nash.
