We want your holiday snaps
By Jennifer Drury
The 1960s, 70s and 80s

We would like to collect a photographic archive of people on the Palace Pier over the years. Especially we are interested in seeing just what you did on the pier in the 1960s, 70s and 80s.

Kiss me Quick hats and candy floss?

Did you buy one of those ‘Kiss me quick’ hats and pose for a photo?

Did you do your courting on the pier – walking with your sweetheart?

Maybe your Mum and Dad brought you to Brighton on holiday and bought you one of those sticky candy floss sticks on the pier.

Did you go to one of the wonderful variety shows?

The photo of the Palace pier was it taken in the 1980s. I do not remember the theatre being at the end of the pier in the 1980s. So when was this photo taken?
