Madeira Terraces - 2022
Madeira Terraces in Madeira Drive is usually fenced off and locked but walking home one day I saw it was open. So I wandered in and took a few photo's. It reminded me of the Black Rock site abandoned for what seems like forever. I looked up the history on the B&H website. This is an excerpt:
Madeira Terrace was originally built as a covered promenade to attract tourists from London when the new railway opened in the late 1800s.It was opened in 1890, before being extended in 1927 to meet the Aquarium.
Since 2012, the terrace has been progressively closed to the public as the structure degraded and became unsafe.
It was finally fenced off in 2016, with 4 of the 6 staircases connecting Madeira Drive to Marine Parade also being closed.
