More about this scene
Taken long before the days of amusement arcades and the bandstand, this photograph shows that Pier Road and the Crag consisted solely of dwelling houses, probably occupied mainly by the fishing community. Above them the newly built Royal Hotel (right) and Kirby's Hotel, erected to accommodate the growing number of visitors, dominate West Cliff. On the extreme right we can see the start of the building of Khyber Pass, the new road leading up West Cliff. West Cliff - Khyber Pass, the Royal Hotel, the Metropole, the Spa, Royal Crescent, the Park, the Museum
