Madeira Terrace

The entire length of Madeira Walk, the upper deck and some of the staircases have been closed to the public since 2012.

In October 2024, Historic England agreed to provide £750,000 to begin the restoration of the arches but the project was expected to total in the multimillion-pound range.

It was constructed in three phases from 1890 and is one of the longest cast-iron structures in the world,[5][6] intended to "facilitate the act of promenading.

[9][10][11][12] The entire length of Madeira Walk and the upper deck, and some of the staircases, has been closed to the public since 2012.

[17][18][19] As of 2020[update], Brighton and Hove City Council had secured funds to restore an as yet unspecified series of 30 of the arches.

The 3-stage lift tower links Madeira Drive at beach level, to Marine Parade above, with an intermediate stop at the terrace walkway.

At its base it opens into Madeira Shelter Hall, which is currently occupied by the Concorde 2 music venue.

The top stage of the lift tower originally had a square-faced, projecting clock, but this is no longer in place.

Later it was a bikers' cafe in the 1960s; an amusement arcade in the 1970s; opening as the Concorde 2 on New Year's Eve 1999—a 600-capacity music venue that remains in use.
