Pictured above is the roller skating rink which opened on the prom in the late 1940s; the black-and-white photo is probably early ‘50s and would have been taken from the balcony of the old Pavilion. The colour postcard underneath is a later study from a similar angle.
The rink was in Pavilion Gardens opposite Water Street. In the background, top left, is the pier (1867-1966) which was built roughly in line with the Westminster Hotel, East Parade. If it were there now, the pier be would round the back of the Seaquarium.
