Hastings Pier, Hastings, East Sussex
A general view of Hastings Pier seen from The Parade, with groups of people walking along the promenade. Promenades and piers allowed people to walk and breathe in the sea air which was believed to be healthy and a cure for illnesses. There are 2 invalid carriages (wheelchairs); one is on the extreme right of the photograph. Both are being pulled along by men. The advertisement is for a minstrel show at the theatre on the end of the pier.
