[Travel] Old aerial photos of Seaside Towns inc. Brighton and Eastbourne

[Dick Swiveller]

This just popped up on the right of a news article I was looking at and it seems to have only been posted 9 hours ago so hopefully new on here. Loads of fascinating aerial shots from the 20s and 30s including Brighton, Peacehaven and Eastbourne.

Love old pics of Brighton.

The structure directly west of The Town Hall was the glass roofed Floral Market.

I first saw them in the early 80’s, then just a walled higgledy open air car park.

Peacehaven has certainly grown

Nice to see Weymouth in there
