Madeira Terrace
Image: © Simon Carey Taken: 20 Feb 2009
Constructed between 1890-97 and is 2387 foot in length and 25 foot in width extending from the Aquarium to Duke's Mound. The wall to the left is the sea-wall constructed in the 1830s along a section of low lying cliffs in order to prevent them from eroding. Madeira Drive below to the right often hosts speed trials and anything that runs from London-Brighton and on one occasion the Tour de France which enables Madeira Terrace to act as a lower grandstand beneath the railings on Marine Parade above.
