Brighton West Pier

The industrial revolution brought social and technological advances. Among these, the Victorian championed the promotion of wellbeing. For this reason, many seaside towns build leisure piers across the United Kingdom inviting all segments of society to enjoy the benefits of clean air and gentle exercise. The West Pier, possibly the most beautiful in Britain, stands today, sadly, as a bare and weathered wrought iron structure.

In 2019 I held an exhibition at the West Pier Centre where I showed my work. My interest in this charismatic structure is well documented in numerous prints where I have featured the remains of the West Pier.

Brighton seafront Hove Lawns

The area of grass stretching from the Brighton boundary to St John’s Road is known as Hove Lawns and is possibly one of the most remarkable swathes of turf in the UK. The 1830 Act laid down that no building should be erected south of Brunswick Terrace; the only items allowed were fencing and street lights. The Lawns were looked after first by the Brunswick Square Commissioners, then by the Hove Commissioners, followed by Hove Council and from 1997 by Brighton & Hove Council.
