Adelaide Crescent

Adelaide Crescent, Brighton

As part of Thorne’s term contract for Coastal Protection and Structures Maintenance with Brighton and Hove City Council we carry out a variety of projects from beach clearance to concrete repairs to full groyne reconstruction. For this particular project we rebuilt this section of balustrade wall at Adelaide Crescent in Hove with help from specialist sub contractor, Fullers Plastering. Traditional methods of construction were used, running moulds with Roman cement. The before and after picture shown here is the 3rd section of balustrade wall that has been rebuilt.
