Brighton's Sewers
Take a tour of the magnificent Victorian treasure that lies 40 feet below the bustling streets of Brighton, the Brighton sewers.
Brighton I360 Sewer Diversion
The old Victorian brick sewer runs along Brighton seafront. To allow the construction of the new Brighton I360 Tower on the site of the old Brighton West Pier. The sewer had to be diverted as it was running through the centre of huge foundations of the tower. This is a short video of CJ Thorne & Co Ltd of Uckfield, East Sussex cutting into the old Brighton sewer and diverting the flow into the new 1600mm concrete sewer pipe running around the I360 to the South of the new foundations. The work was completed January 2015.

Disgusting 'Fatberg' Found In London Sewer | World Beneath Our Feet | Earth Lab
In the heart of London there's a hidden river. The River Fleet was bricked over to form a covered sewer, allowing millions of London residents to live in just a few square miles without serious disease issues.

Ghosthunting in Brighton's sewers
Brighton is said to one of the UK's most haunted cities - but so far, most reported activity has happened firmly above ground.
However, after workmen in the sewers beneath the streets reported an increase in ghostly goings on, Southern Water opened them up to a group of paranormal investigators.
And on Tuesday night, armed with equipment to sense radio waves, electromagnetic activity, temperature - not to mention their own sixth senses - two groups of ghost hunters got to work - and Brighton and Hove News was invited along to see what they found.

BBC2 | All Change For....Brighton | 1980
17th June 1980 - All Queen Anne front and Mary-Ann back; elegance on one side, vulgarity on the other.
That's how Jack Tinker, theatre critic of the Daily Mail, describes the Regency flavour of Brighton, where he's lived for 20 years.
Since Prinny's day it's been an unlikely confection of theatrical grandeur and what-the-butler-saw. But post-war planning has allowed whole streets of Old Brighton to be torn down and replaced by tower blocks and car parks. Some people have moved away in despair. JACK TINKER is among those who have chosen to stay and fight.
£12m government funding towards new Brighton & Hove venue
Transcript of this video:
Commentary: Plans to create a world class conference centre and venue at Black Rock, next to Brighton Marina, have received a boost, with over £12 million of government funding just awarded to the project.
The money has come via the Local Enterprise Partnership. It'll make a significant contribution to the high costs of redeveloping a site which has been derelict for over 30 years.That could include things like improving sea defences and clearing foundations from the former Black Rock Lido.
The Black Rock development is part of the city's huge Waterfront regeneration project. This would see the current Brighton Centre demolished, along with the cinema complex next door. The site would be redeveloped, including extending Churchill Square shopping centre to the seafront and radically improving public spaces in the area.
A replacement conference centre and 10-000-seat arena would be built at Black Rock. Council leader Warren Morgan says this latest £12m is a step in the right direction.
Cllr Warren Morgan: It's a tremendous boost for the Waterfront project, specifically the Black Rock site, where we're hoping to build a world class conference and entertainments venue. And it'll put us back at the top of the table in terms of conference and entertainments venues across Britain. The next step is to conclude our deal with Standard Life Investments. It's a half a billion pound deal that involves not just this site but the extension of Churchill Square shopping centre down to the seafront. And it's the business rates from that extension to Churchill Square that will fund the borrowing to enable this project to be completed. By unlocking this site at Black Rock, which has been derelict since the 1970s, we can regenerate the whole eastern section of Brighton seafront, which means that the Madeira Terraces will be restored and revitalised. There will be jobs, business rates and a whole range of economic activity, which can only be a good thing for the city of Brighton & Hove.

Deep in the bowels of London, a network of Victorian tunnels has carried sewage beneath the city streets for more than 150 years. But in 2017 workers discovered something strange lurking in the dark. Longer than the famous Tower Bridge and approaching the weight of a blue whale, it was a monster of strangely – and disgustingly – human origin. But would the team be able to cast it aside?

A peek inside Brighton's new tower
It's been called 'punk architecture' - creative, vibrant, the symbol of a city thriving with vitality. Unless you're one of Brighton's residents who absolutely hate their new 'grey pole' on the seafront. It's the i-360 - the world's tallest, slimmest, moving observation tower and it's opening this week.
