Description
Madeira Terrace is a well-known and much-loved Brighton and Hove Landmark. At 865m
long in total it is one of the longest cast-iron structures in the world and an admired piece of
Victorian architecture, integral to the Eastern Seafront. It is also a significant Grade 2* listed
structure within the rich heritage context of the wider coastal city. Phase 1 of the Madeira
Terrace Restoration project encompasses 40nr arches sitting between the Royal Crescent
steps and the Shelter Hall / Concord 2.
The cast iron structure forms a backbone describing the historic development of the
seafront. Addressing the sea and the beach firmly braced against the rising East Cliff wall
rising behind. It is a 'backdrop': designed and intended to be used and inhabited by the
residents of the city for all manner of events and social occasions; for quiet enjoyment,
outdoor exercise and for viewing.
The structure is now deemed unsafe and public access has not been possible for a number of
years, due its condition.
The Phase 1 project includes the following elements of works:
• Conservation and repair of the historic cast iron structure.
• Conservation and management of the historic Japanese Spindle green wall [dating from
1872], and other planting associated with the Green Wall.
• Repairs to the facing of the east cliff-wall (a designated highways structure) to ensure
public safety; and re-presentation of its surface to visually unify and present a more attractive backdrop to the restored structure.
• Public realm landscaping to both the terrace deck above and the promenade walkway
below, including new hard surfacing, soft landscaping and street furniture.
• Local improvement to Madeira Drive, via new pedestrian crossing points.
• New lighting and servicing infrastructure
• Repairs and upgrades to the existing lift mechanism within the Shelter Hall / Concorde 2
building, to allow its continued historic function as the original means of step-free access to
the terrace.
• A new external public lift
