More about this scene
Here we see another busy beach view in 'The Empress of Watering Places' with many umbrellas protecting ladies from the summer sun. The photographer is here looking east past the recently-built bandstand, nicknamed 'The Bird Cage', towards the pier. This was by Eugenius Birch, who also designed Brighton's West Pier, and was completed in 1872. Note the higher deck of the landward section: this replaced the original section which was washed away in storms in 1877.
