This black and white photographic print shows the connecting bridge to the 'Birdcage' bandstand on the King's Road bandstand. It is a view west from the Lower Esplanade. The bridge is covered with barbed wire as part of defence measures during the Second World War. During the early years of the Second World War, Britain was faced with the threat of German invasion. The British retreat from Dunkirk and the French surrender of June 1940 left the south coast dangerously exposed. Brighton's beaches were closed at 5pm on 2 July 1940, and defence measures were erected along the beach. Mines were placed along the beach and barbed wire barricades protected the front.
