I was pointed towards this excellent video this morning from British Pathé, which is nothing more than a car journey along Brighton seafront. It’s amazing how little has changed, except the Brighton Centre and an extension here and there. Go to around 3.40 for a really nice view of the West Pier as it was then.
Unfortunately Pathé’s embed code seems to have been written around the same time as the video was filmed, so you’ll have to click through to see it.
