i360 is going ahead. Former potential investor has been arrested.

They should not remove the remains. They look fabulous and it is a great example of Victorian engineering.

 

[dejavuatbtn]

Is there a chance the pole will bend?

 

[sully]

My understanding was that the proposed i360 was located directly above the old Victorian sewer and was therefore unbuildable anyway.

This. Leave our great old lady to rest in peace

 

[Smirko]

Not too shabby, and.

Great for photography!

This will be the same Mike Holland who broke planning permission at the Engineerium and wants to close a public footpath at Stanmer ? The guy is a **** !!!!!

I'm with you on this, pity they can't preserve it in some way.

From what I know of him, I would agree with your last sentiment!

I'd be interested to know if it has a lifespan. I wonder if the WPT would be able to give an informed idea?

He seems very full of himself. He strikes me as a big fish in a little pond.

Arrested on suspicion of corporate manslaughter, apparently.

I'm glad the i360 construction is in full swing as we enter 2015

It's a shame they are going to remove the old lady though

Don't think they are...

This city is a joke sometimes, it could be an innovative forward-thinking place, but we're stuck looking at a pile of rust.

I love that pile of rust (supposing you're referring to the old West Pie.......a perfect metaphor of man's futile attempt to impose his will upon nature - and an ongoing one at that.

 

[Super Steve Earle]

As I have said before, **** all ever gets built in Brighton. It's depressing.

Not so, umpteen 20 mph signs and a plethora of roadworks and cycle paths.

 

[clippedgull]

Don't think they are...

Ah! Good news if true!

The Palace pier more than refutes that; perhaps it would be more apposite to replace "man's" with "the Regency Society"? The seem to be far more culpable than society as a whole!

 

[symyjym]

Holland's West Pier plan was a joke. he must have splashed out all of £30 for the drawings;

 

[Hampster Gull]

Another huge disappointment. That would have been brilliant. As Herr Tubthumper says, **** all ever gets built in Brighton.

That not true, the Pavilion got built

I wish the thread title was both current and accurate.
