Brighton Pier, Brighton Pavillion and The Lanes, Tuesday 19 April 2022


Paper gown in Brighton Pavilion with a cut out section showing a theatre hall.
Andy waited ages for a coffee..

George IV dining hall where he entertained his many mistresses 
Bankrupted himself with fixtures and fittings, had to agree to marry , in exchange for the Government agreeing to settle his debts 

Axminster carpet with large sunflower design 

He loved his fittings 🙂

 Here is the theatre in the gown below
Welcome to the Pleasure Dome !
GeorgeIV  deliberately furnished the entrance hall in a drab style to create surprise for his guests when they entered sumptuously decorated rooms beyond 
Quasi Indian/ Mogul/ mix of architecture  by John Nash favoured regency architect in Brighton during George IVs reign . Chinoiserie furnishings and ornaments inside 

A busy day sightseeing in Brighton city centre, a stroll along the Pier , with a great fun fair at the end, log flumes! carousels!  a visit to the  George IV 's  Pleasure Pavillion, with costumes made entirely of paper and a wander around the independent shops in the Lanes , with  delicious falafel and roasted veg pitta breads , from the indoor market, and Brazilian  coffee and lemon  cannoli from Joliffes in North Laine area to sustain us. 
A sun -filled walk along the front back to the campsite
