Palace Pier, Brighton, Sussex, early 20th century
Palace Pier, Brighton, Sussex, early 20th century. Brightons Palace Pier was opened in grand ceremony on 20 May 1899.

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the iconic Palace Pier in Brighton, Sussex during the early 20th century. The grand opening of this magnificent pier took place on 20 May 1899, marking a significant moment in British history. As time went by, the pier underwent various expansions and renovations to accommodate the growing number of visitors seeking entertainment and leisure activities. By 1901, the Palace Pier boasted an impressive building adorned with minaret corner towers that housed dining areas, smoking rooms, reading rooms, and even its first concert hall. However, it wasn't until two decades later that another major transformation occurred with the addition of a big wheel. This expansion not only extended the length of the pier but also widened its promenade. In 1984, under new ownership, Brighton Pier experienced a revitalization that breathed new life into this architectural gem. Today standing at an impressive length of 1722 ft long, this Grade 2* listed building is widely recognized as one of Britain's finest piers ever constructed. The print showcases not only the stunning architecture but also provides a glimpse into seaside recreation during this era. It serves as a nostalgic reminder of Victorian holidays spent by locals and tourists alike along England's picturesque coastline. This remarkable image preserves both history and beauty for generations to come to appreciate Brighton's rich heritage as they explore its charming streets or stroll along its vibrant seafront promenade.
