More about this scene

This a row of typical seaside hotels and boarding houses, and it still looks the same. The only big difference is that the cast iron and glass canopy along the mock-Tudor hotel has all been taken away, and there is now only one shop - and it is not Gallone the Italian ice cream seller, as it is here.

The poster on the right advertises Arcadian Follies at the Pier Pavilion; the pier mainly disappeared in 1978.
