Free with Brighton Museum admission, members and residents free A century ago over a hundred piers fringed the British coastline, built to provide a tantalising taste of the sea, without getting wet. Today, less than half of these still stand. Internationally renowned photographer Simon Roberts, who lives in Brighton, has completed a three-year quest to document all of Britain’s remaining pleasure piers. Simon’s striking and evocative photographs celebrate the personality, architecture and history of each structure. 4 brighton museum brighton museum 5 The Dark Knight Rises Batsuit Ben Rivers, Ah, 18 August to 20 September Liberty !

    FINAL July 2015 I360 Jacking Tower Takes

    PRESS RELEASE - FINAL July 2015 i360 jacking tower takes attraction to new heights Progress at the Brighton i360 is on schedule, with the completion of the specially engineered temporary 60 metre high "jacking tower", which can be seen from far and wide. Said Eleanor Harris, CEO of Brighton i360, “If you have been on the seafront over the past couple of weeks, you can’t have missed the fact that the i360 construction is now well underway." David Marks, architect of the i360, said: “Building the i360 is a formidable engineering operation. The jacking tower is a vertical factory, a vertical production line. Individual steel cans go in at the bottom, and the finished tower comes out of the top, with the steel cans safely bolted together and clad in an eye-catching, diaphanous, aluminium veil.” The first few steel 'cans' were lifted into place conventionally using the giant 100 metre high crawler crane, nick-named T-Rex by the site team, but as the tower reaches higher into the sky, the jacking tower, designed by the i360's main contractor, Hollandia, will be used to lift the tower up, allowing a new can to be skidded in underneath. The new can will be bolted into place, and this process will then be repeated until all 17 cans are adjoined and the i360 tower is complete. Seven of the 17 steel cans are already in place – numbers one, two, three at the bottom, and the top four cans (cans 14, 15, 16 and 17) and the tower is now 64 meters high with the top just peeping out of the top of the jacking tower.

From 2011-2013 these interests fuelled a project titled Pierdom (http://pierdom.com), for which Roberts toured the British coastline capturing the country’s 58 surviving pleasure piers as well as a few ‘lost’ piers with an old-fashioned 4×5 inch field camera. In a bid to prompt a countrywide discussion on the historical significance of these seaside struc- tures an unusual national exhibition followed in 2014 whereby 13 coastal venues simultaneously exhibited up to five works from the series, including their most local pier.
