Step back in time with this stunning 19th-century photograph of The Old Steine in Brighton, Sussex, England. Captured around 1840, this image offers a captivating glimpse into the history of this iconic seaside town. The Old Steine, a large open space located in the heart of Brighton, has been a popular destination for visitors since the Regency era. In this photograph, we see the area as it once was, with its lush gardens, elegant bandstand, and grand colonnade. The colonnade, designed by Decimus Burton, is particularly noteworthy, with its Doric columns and intricate ironwork. The Old Steine was originally intended to be a formal parade ground, but over the years it evolved into a more relaxed and leisurely space. In the early 1800s, it became a popular spot for promenading, picnicking, and enjoying the sea breeze. By the mid-1800s, it was also home to a variety of entertainments, including concerts, fairs, and even a menagerie. This photograph captures the Old Steine at a pivotal moment in its history. The area was undergoing significant development during the 1840s, with new buildings and attractions being added to enhance its appeal to visitors. The image also provides a fascinating insight into the fashion and social customs of the time, with ladies in long dresses and gentlemen in top hats and tailcoats strolling through the gardens. Today, The Old Steine remains a beloved part of Brighton's rich heritage, attracting visitors from around the world who come to experience its unique charm and character. This photograph is a beautiful reminder of its storied past and the many memories that have been made there over the centuries.
