New Year on the beach is the subject of this week's picture set. Brighton beach on the morning of New Year's Day was overcast and chilly, but there was still plenty of evidence of the night before. A couple of the seafront clubs were still open, the dance music sounding rather sad in the January daylight. Broken champagne bottles, smouldering fires, discarded roses and even a lump of ice all testified to the celebrations, desires and hopes of New Year's Eve. This year is 2006, but Brighton beach can remember the New Year's Days of 1906 and 1806 as easily as over two hundred others. However many resolutions have been made on this strip of urban shingle, it's a certainty that even more have been broken.
