The Peace Commemoration at Brighton - Fireworks on the Chain Pier, 1856. Creator: Edmund Evans
The Peace Commemoration at Brighton - Fireworks on the Chain Pier, 1856. Report in the "Brighton Herald" newspaper of celebrations marking the end of the Crimean War....signal rockets were seen in the air, the noise of reports could be heard, and there was a tremendous rush to the cliffs, which, together with the beach, were in a short time covered with people. The fireworks on the Pier were prepared by Southby, the experienced London pyrotechnist. The fixed pieces were very beautiful. The opinion was general that nothing superior of the kind had been seen in Brighton. By a very proper arrangement, persons were not admitted on the Pier after eight o'clock, so that accidents by the fall of rocket-sticks might be prevented. On the sea, in front of the town, there was a large number of spectators in boats...'. From "Illustrated London News", 1856
