Some really good photos there.

The Chelsea was previously know as the Chelsea Reach and my Nan once told me it used to be the Late Night Extra. Though I don't know whether that's right.

Bobby's Bar used to be the Golden Guinea.

But that would also need a whole thread of its own if we were gonna talk about 'Old New Brighton'.

I'm always looking for info. and photos of the open air pool if anyone can help me - but that, I suspect is a bit more difficult than some.

Does anyone remember the concert at New Brighton Baths in 1984? Frankie Goes To Hollywood performed at it.

It opened in 1934.
It was claimed to be the largest open-air pool in the world.

Demolished in 1990.

2 early postcards and 3 photos from May 1990.

It opened in 1934...Demolished in 1990.

Apparently because of a freak storm which damaged the pool beyond repair. This was the 'visitors' pool; the 'residents' pool was the Derby baths which was along Harrison Drive. This also went at some point in time but there is a pub near to the site named the "Derby Pool" which is on Bayview Road.

Great Archive images Phil!

I think that is a great photo, it's forced me to get a new password (lost my old one long ago) to log on just to say so. That is the best New Brighton shot I have seen for a long time.

I have to say that you have posted some mighty fine pictures there Poli. I liked the train station platform covered in snow best.
