[Dick Knights Mumm]

That is a hell of a photograph. The Blue Anchor (bottom of Boundary Road in Portslade) had a wallpaper of that view (plus the whole of Hove) on one entire wall. It is worth going to see. I was last in there about two years ago and it was still there then.

 

[The Large One]

Aquairium in 1880 with the Chain Pier just visible in the distance.

They filmed Quadrophenia there about 100 years later.
