This postcard is of Brighton as seen from the end of the West Pier about a century ago.

The picture was taken before the central pavilion was added in 1916, 50 years after the pier had first opened.

Prominent in King's Road is the Hotel Metropole shown with its distinctive spire and handsome roof before ugly extensions were added in the Sixties.

To the east of it can be seen the Grand Hotel, then also smaller than it is today, and the tower of St Paul's Church in West Street.

The postcard is from the collection of Terry Sinnott.
