Brighton Sewer Tour and Patcham Floods

Description

A guided tour through a section of the Victorian sewer network under the streets of Brighton. See how the engineers of the day not only made their structures beautiful above ground, but kept their attention to detail intact underground too. Also includes footage of the severe floods that year (around the same time that Lewes flooded) that affected the north of Brighton. A river that hadn’t run for over 400 years reappeared on the recreation ground just next to the A27/A23 junction with a spring shooting out from under the petrol station car park and then running straight down Patcham high street.
