| | The Royal Marine Pavilion, Brighton (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-08) |
 | | William Cobbett likened the Pavilion to a jumble of turnips and tulips. |
 | | Nash's Pavilion is important for two reasons; first, the extraordinary conception of the building itself, its decoration and adornment, as a summer palace by the sea; and, second, in Nash's use of structural ironwork. |
 | | Perhaps the turning point, curiously enough, was the use of the Pavilion, at the King's suggestion, as a hospital for Indian troops wounded on the western front during the first world war. |
