TR, New Brighton

Friday, November 2, 2018

Since the council redeveloped the promenade at New Brighton, things are looking up. Long gone are the booze-filled seafront pubs, and are now replaced by a more family-friendly place that feels much more inviting to visitors. The new shopping facilities are excellent. Plenty of parking at last.
