The Pepperpot
It's not a big place Brighton, but I knew nothing about this gem. Maybe 40 odd years ago I was thinking of something else - foreign students and adventures on the Palace Pier.
ReplyDeleteIt is great to see so much interest in securing the town's past and its amazing architectural gems.
Glad you called it the "Palace Pier". Present owners would like it to be known as "Brighton Pier" :p

ReplyDeleteWhy?
Yeah well they would having lost the West Pier which was to my mind the prettier of the two.

ReplyDeleteThe Pepperpot is a gem.
ReplyDeleteAlso, I think the West Pier is still one of the most evocative and beautiful views around Sussex. I keep being told it's decrepit -it becomes ever more ethereal and romantic to me.
