This fine picture of the old fish market on Brighton seafront is undated but was probably taken a century ago.

It shows dozens of stalls by the arches on the Lower Esplanade and plenty of customers prepared to buy catches straight from the sea.

But by the Sixties, Brighton Council decided the market had become an unhygienic nuisance and moved it to Circus Street off Grand Parade amid much protest.

In the Nineties, councillors, led by Andy Durr, decided to create a fishing quarter on the seafront which has become an attraction.

It includes a museum which has many more pictures and plenty of information about the fishing folk of Brighton, The picture was sent in by regular reader Terry Sinnott of Hartington Place, Brighton.
