The hole at the end of the Sports stadium Ice Rink where the ice was swept down, was rumoured to go into an underground river that ran down under West Street, to the sea.

The Company that own the Palace Pier, and took away the theatre.
And when they took away the theatre, the 'dome' was a temporary structure until a new theatre was built - still waiting.
And the west pier burnt down very shortly after lottery money was allocated.??

There is a tunnel from the Pavilion to Marine Parde, for Prince Regents emergency escape. Hence the name of the pub and club The Royal Escape and Escape Club.
Wonder if this has anything to do with this urban legend...

The article above relates to this , and describes the story as coming from an unreliable witness.
