It has been a long time since there were donkeys on the beach in Brighton and at a guess this picture dates from Edwardian times.
The Lower Esplanade is recognisably the same today but a clue to the date is given by the bathing machines on the right.
The postcard is from the collection of Terry Sinnott of Brighton.
