Brighton seafront in the 1950's

Did you go to the 'Wanderin' Cafe

By Kenneth Paul

Does anyone remember the Wanderin cafe on the seafront? This shot was taken sometime in the 1950s.

Hi Folks. Lovely photo of a bygone era but it seems the café could even be much older as the sign on the top of the building is advertising 'Bathing Machines'. Another nice touch to the photo is the young girl obviously on her way to the Sports Stadium Ice Rink in West Street. In the 1950s the SS Brighton would have been in its heyday.
