Sadly, Matthew Rooke and Tim Foster came to the end of their terms of office during the 4 study to see if a future can be found for this important, but sadly neglected, building. The model for this was the viability study for Brighton Hippodrome, which ran from July to October 2015. We led a stakeholder group with partners Brighton Hippodrome CIC, Our Brighton Hippodrome, Historic England, Frank Matcham Society and AMG/Live Nation, and agreed a brief to identify an optimum beneficial use for the Hippodrome. The viability study that emerged did identify a way forward for this Grade II* theatre, and has been taken forward by Brighton Hippodrome CIC who have subsequently secured funding from the Coastal Revival Fund and Heritage Lottery Fund to develop their plans. Our work with many of the supporters groups, not only for Theatre Buildings at Risk but others, has made us aware of the support that they need, especially in the early years of their projects. We therefore expanded our workshop programme with a workshop specifically aimed at groups in the early stages of developing projects with Director’s. heritage theatres – a New Life for Heritage Theatres. This year also marked the 7th and 8th rounds of our UK Theatres Small Grants Scheme. The relatively review of. small sums of money that the scheme provides have proved very important for the theatres concerned, since building repairs are not often a priority for funding, the year. and the challenges that smaller theatres in particular face are growing. Extreme weather is increasingly one of those challenges, and all of the theatres supported in Round 8 had suffered some sort of water ingress, including the Friargate Theatre in York which had been affected by the winter Rebecca. floods and the Marina Theatre Lyme Regis where storm damage had affected the exterior. In 2013, The London Assembly’s report on small theatres in London, Centre Morland. Stage, identified that 75% of those theatres were in need of capital intervention. Our London Theatres Small Grants Scheme was developed in response to this, and As Tim Eyles states, this has been a year where we 2015 marked its first round of funding. The theatres we started to review our role and remit, and agreed supported ranged from the New Diorama in Camden, a new vision and mission, the delivery of which who converted a storage container into accessible offices will effectively begin in 2016/17.

Summary and Significance The Old Town area has formed the economic, social and civic core of Brighton throughout its transition from fishing settlement to city. It still provides evidence of this process that has resulted in a distinctive character and identity. The area has evolved as a focus for the development of Brighton as a tourism destination on the south coast, particularly during the period between the 17 th and early 20 th centuries.

  • East Sussex Record Office Report of the County Archivist April 2012 to March 2014
    eastsussex.gov.uk East Sussex Record Office Report of the County Archivist April 2012 to March 2014 2014/15: 458 Introduction The period covered by this annual report – the financial years 2012-2014 – has probably been the most momentous in ESRO’s history as it saw the completion of the project to build and open The Keep. It marked the culmination of seven years’ work by the project partners, East Sussex County Council, Brighton & Hove City Council and The University of Sussex to re-house their archives and other historical resources in a state-of-the-art building, both to ensure their permanent preservation and to increase and broaden access to this unique and irreplaceable material. Practical completion was achieved on 17 June 2013 when the building was handed over by the contractors, Kier. We immediately began to move ESRO material into The Keep, which was not as easy as it sounds – the work required to prepare the archives for transfer and then to move them is described elsewhere in this report. Staff worked long, hard hours preparing and supervising the ESRO removals. It was a remarkable feat and as a result all ESRO’s archives have been listed to at least collection level, packaged and shelved appropriately in a single building and can be tracked around it via the inventory management (barcoding) system. The service we now offer is not merely ESRO in a new building, but has been transformed into a fully integrated partnership, working not just to better but rather transcend what we previously provided. Behind the scenes each partner continues to maintain their individual collections in their separate databases but from the user’s point of view the service is seamless: the online catalogue and ordering system combine information from the three databases and presents them as a single resource on The Keep’s new website, www.thekeep.
