Alfresco, Brighton

This is the view from the beach of Alfresco Restaurant in Brighton. A wonderful location looking out on the historic piers and the English Channel.

The address is given as Milkmaid Pavilion which conjures up more questions in my mind than answers. I presume it was a dressing pavilion for bathers ... but there must be some story behind the Milkmaid name.

From the Upper Esplanade the building looks like a ship cruising into shore. The outside terraces are bounded by metal railings and the tower marking the entrance has porthole windows and a flagpole.

I'm sure as the Alfresco name suggests, this is a lovely place to sit out for a meal or a drink on a sunny English summer afternoon.

Alfred Abrahams House, Brighton

This fantastic Moderne house in Elwood St, Brighton was built in 1935 for Melbourne Solicitor Alfred Abrahams.

My photo shows the private part of the house, the rooms to the left of the circular stairwell are used as public areas and feature large windows facing onto the street and the rear of the property.

The house was used during the filming of Irresistible starring Susan Sarandon, Sam Neill, Emily Blunt and Bud Tingwell.
