Antony Dale Lecture: Restoring the Madeira Terrace
28th September 2022 at 7:00 pm - 9:00 pm
£12.50
All tickets have now been sold for this event.
The terrace and arches were designed by Brighton borough surveyor Philip Causton Lockwood and opened in 1890. They have been closed to the public since 2012.
In this year's Antony Dale Lecture, Lian Harter, senior project lead at the heritage consultants Purcell, will describe the first of four phases of her company's work on the restoration of the stricken 865m-long cast-iron terrace.
This is one of the city's most important developments of a major landmark. The project will include four new lifts, total restoration of the ironwork, new walkways, full renovation of the rear wall and green wall, new lighting and much more. Work is due to start in 2023 and the first phase will probably take two years to complete.
