October - Brighton

Here we are in the North Laines, Brighton. As you can see it is a very colourful place with its street art and the bright shop frontages. In this photo spot the guy and his sofa.






Great graffitti!



One of the streets. I think it is just about possible to buy anything in the shops around here.



Here is Sue on the steps of a bathing machine in Hove Park. Not far away was a geocache which we did and also the Goldstone, which gave its name to Goldstone Ground where Brighton played football until 1997.


The Goldstone, lies in its southwest corner of the park. This huge rock, weighing about 20 tons, is commonly believed to have been used by the Druids for worship.
Legend has it that the devil threw it there while excavating Devils Dyke.




Brighton Marina was very close to the campsite so we found ourselves there on many occasions. On a sunny day there is a thriving cafe culture.



More boats!



This is Roedean School as seen from the marina breakwater.



Last, but not least is The Royal Pavilion. This looks good from the outside, but is a definite WOW on the inside. Unfortunately photography was not allowed inside. If you want to know more go to their website or better still go there in person, it's certainly worth it.
