Aquarium Brighton Chain Pier Suspension 1895
EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, taken in the year 1895, showcases the entrance to the Brighton Aquarium located in England. The Aquarium, which was established by a joint stock company in 1872, cost an impressive 130,000 pounds to build and opened its doors to the public in August of that year. The image beautifully captures the grandeur of the Aquarium's entrance, with its intricate architectural details and ornate decorations. In the background, the iconic Royal Suspension Chain Pier can be seen, stretching out towards the sea. The pier, which was a popular tourist attraction in its own right, was erected in 1823 and was a marvel of engineering at the time. However, tragedy struck on the 4th of December, 1896, when a violent storm caused the pier to be washed away, leaving only memories and this photograph as reminders of its former glory. The Aquarium, with its impressive entrance and the majestic pier in the background, was a sight to behold in the late 19th century. This photograph, taken in 1895, provides a glimpse into the past, showcasing the beauty and grandeur of Brighton's iconic landmarks before they were forever changed by the forces of nature.
