Brill's Baths, c1869. Swimmers relaxing in the gentlemen's circular swimming bath. Charles Brill inherited the original baths from a Mr. Lamprell, his uncle, in the 1840's. At one time the sea-water was brought from Hove to Brighton as Brighton's coast was thought to be too polluted. The baths were demolished in 1929.
