My Sunday Photo

I really never do get tired of looking at this view (or any seaviews!), Brighton Marina is in the distance and in the foreground part of Rottingdean beach, on the bottom right there is a "theatre" space where all sorts of musical events take place, it is a wonderful, happy, friendly beach!



At the top right hand corner once stood a whole family house on the cliff, when I walk there I can see remnants of the foundations, it is very surreal to think of people long gone living there.  We know this because we found a photo online of the beach in 1905 showing the very formidably large house, you can see it here, the cliff can clearly still be seen and this photo from 1930 seems to show it gone and the construction of the underhill garden being built.   So much has changed with some houses being demolished but so much remains the same.  Rottingdean also had its very own pier too.  In some of the photos we found all that has changed are the ladies fashions and the cars!

    I love that theatre space - as a setting it must make for some dramatic performances!

    So cool seeing how the same spot looked in different times of the past.

    Sea and sky is impossible to tire of. Love the colour emanating from the cliff face too.

    I don't think I've ever looked at the marina from that angle. I also never knew about the pier

    Thank you for linking up

    I'm a huge fan of crashing waves and this really captures the essence of the sea.

    I never get tired of watching the sea either. Luckily I only live 15 mins from the coast. I love the light glowing off the cliff.

    That was fascinating to read about the old house. I love looking back in history.
    Great photos too which show how time moves on. A little sad but fascinating.
    It's nice to see the sun and sea.
    Enjoy your Sunday

    That's a brilliant picture. I live seascapes too. I clicked on the old image, my goodness it was a huge house and it was gone by 1930! Amazing x

    I never tire of the sea, either, it's so serene (most of the time) and certainly makes me feel quite insignificant.

    There's something satisfying to find the history of a place you love to see!

    I so love this part of the world, my mums family spread around the world but most of them are spread out between hove and telescombe cliffs and in land to Lewes. I spent some many holidays there as a child and often visit when we are back in the UK
