The View
Here is detail from a
Valentine's card, which looks
to the south-east, across
a busy Portobello Beach towards the Esplanade and Joppa.
This photograph was taken in 1913. It appears to have been taken
from Portobello Pier. The pier was built in 1871 and demolished in
1917. Zooming-in on this
image, it becomes possible to read some of the lettering on the buildings
on Portobello Esplanade |
