ABC Wednesday - Q for Quirky

The Duke of York's is Brighton's best cinema although it's not necessarily the most comfortable. One of its claims to fame are the quirky legs sticking out of the roof! I took these pics while I was stuck in a traffic jam. Electric windows on a car are great for taking quick photos on the move!

The Picture House has been around since 1910 and is soon to have its 100th birthday. Go Girl!

  9. this is so cool! I love your Quirky legs photo!
    Do you know if the legs were there since 1910 as well? Or is that a more modern addition?

  10. How perfectly quirky for Q. A most fascinating building and a whimsical set of legs, to be sure. What fun it is!

  11. Thanks for all your comments. I believe the legs came originally from an Oxford cinema and arrived in Brighton in 1991.

    Brightonians love them too!
