.In Order To Make Way For The Greater Traffic Demands, Much Of Central
Brighton Was Demolished To Widen The Streets. Western Road, West Street
And North Street , Were All Redeveloped With Shops, Offices And Banks,
But This Did Little To Enhance The Architectural Quality Of The Area.
Since The War Years, Brighton Has Done Little To Attract New Visitors, In The
Developing New Facilities, Or Even To Conserve The Existing Ones. The
Marina Project, Was Hoped To Act As A Springboard For New Leisure Industry,
But Due To Its Failure, Much Of It Has Now Been Filled In And Developed For
Housing And Shops, And With The Addition Of Recent Amenities Bowling,
Multiplex Cinema, Public Houses And Supermarket Now Seems To Have
Realized Some Measure Of The Success That Was Originally Hoped For.
The West Pier Has Been Closed For Many Years And The Wrangling Still Goes
On Over Its Future, And Although Sections Had Been Removed Due To
Corrosion And Storm Damage, The Weather Of Christmas 2002Has Seen Great
Destruction To The Remain Structure, So It Looks Like Its Future Hangs
Precariously In The Balance. The Palace Pier By Contrast Is Now A Vibrant
Amusement Arcade And Draws Large Numbers Of Visitors Each Year. The
Only Outdoor Swimming Pool In Brighton, Which Was Situated At Black
Rock Has Long Been Demolished And Although There Has Been Much
Talk About A Replacement , That's All Its Been Talk!
