More about this scene
Though it opened in 1899, the 1800-seater theatre at the southern end was not completed until 1901, a full decade after work on the Palace Pier began. A pavilion and winter garden was added to the pier's centre in 1910. The theatre was dismantled in 1986, but was not replaced as had been planned.

Hello All,
I am researching my ancestry on my late fathers side.
I have very little information to go on but do know he did at some point live in the area,he was buried in Lewes but to my knowledge only lived there for a few years before passing away in 2014.
I believe he may have had some connection to the area before this time. Any time between 1950’s and 2014
If anyone should recognise his name ...see more
I remember that the eastern part of the park was turned into allotments during the war. And a water-filled ditch was created for testing tanks' abilities to cross muddy/hilly terrain.
And after the war there were often sheep dog trials and other events to attend (I lived in Lovers Walk opposite the park).
I'd love to see any photos of the Park at any time
My mother and I had many happy summer days at Ovingdean in the 1960's. It was easy to catch a bus there from central Brighton, disembarking near St Dunstan's home, walking by underpass beneath the busy main road, then taking the stairs down to the Undercliff Walk. There was a kiosk and some beach huts there, and it was a very pleasant spot to enjoy a few hours by the sea.
My mother, Olive Mary (Mollie) Feasby was a student at the college in the 1930s. I am looking for information about her future sisters-in-law, Marion and Rene Walker, also students there.
