Brighton, England

Brighton is a seaside resort 1 1/2 hours from London, so it’s a favorite place for locals to visit. 

 

It’s known for two things, The Pier and The Royal Pavilion. 

The latter was built in the 1800’s by King George IV when he was still the Prince of Wales. 

Son of the infamous George III, he is best known for his sense of fashion. 

The pavilion was his pleasure palace. 

 

Its architecture was influenced by India and inside motifs include both Indian and Chinese inspired designs.  It is quite fanciful and a bit overwrought. 

The pier was a whirl of human activity,

and the town had pretty stores complete with picturesque signs.

Sadly, most of our photos of the pier were lost in development.  (Yes, this was a pre-digital trip) 

But luckily our cheesy tourist shots survived. 😉

 Here’s a link to a UK blog, and a few from London…
