Life in Pavilion Gardens over 70 years

A photo gallery
By David Sewell

The Pavilion Gardens has been part of the Sewell and Tennent family for nearly seventy years. From March to November the view east from the Pavilion Gardens Café across the lawn towards the Royal Pavilion has been a lovely daily occurence. The photographs on this page include pictures of the Royal Pavilion, Pavilion Gardens, restoration works over the years and events taking place on what used to be known as Western Lawn.
