ABOVE: A very early digital artists' impression of what the finished structure of CityView will look like. The view is looking East from the multi storey car park, towards Saint Bartholomews Church. Image owned by McAleer Rushe Group.


ABOVE: Artists' impression of what the finished structure of CityView will look like. The view is looking roughly north-east, towards the London Road Viaduct and Preston Park. The Jurys Inn Hotel would stand just to the left of this view and the photo would be (theoretically at least) taken from one of the entrances to the multi storey car park opposite.

 ABOVE: Artists' impression of what the finished structure of CityView will look like. At the time of writing (April 2015) the concrete framework bares little resemblance to the glossy pictures, however, the path which forms the continuation of the green Corridor of the old  Lower Goods Yard Trackbed (seen far left in the photo) is in place and planting has begun. The staircase seen in the background is the one which goes up in front of the Jurys Inn, currently hidden from view by hoardings if one were to see the same view currently.  The view is looking roughly north, back along the path of the Lower Goods Yard Trackbed, towards the iron bridge across New England Road.

********************

 Above: This map shows the area of Brighton Station, Lower Goods Yard and the Loco Works in around 1932. The station edge and Kemp Town platform (platform 10) can be seen at the lower right hand edge. The approximate location of CityView relative to this era is on the left hand side of this photo, just above the second "O" of the word "LOCOMOTIVE" on the map, which shows how the layout of the Locomotive Works was, probably at the zenith of the Works' architectural development. Note the bank to the left / north of the site: this is where Jurys Inn stands in the present day, with the staircare running down the left hand edge of the "T" of the word "FOOTBRIDGE". OneBrighton would stand more or less where the Fyffes Warehouses are (top left). Kingscote Way stands on the site of the Coal Office (top right) in the present day. The Bicycle Hub is on the point where the Goods Shed stands (bottom right) and SuperB is more or less where the travelling crane stands on this map.

ABOVE: This map, whilst predominantly showing the layout for the SuperB development, also shows where CityView will one day stand. The site of CityView is the rectangular block with the little triangular bit sticking out, in the top right hand corner of this map.

MISCELLANEOUS VIEWS OF THE CITYVIEW DEVELOPMENT

ABOVE: Right at the start of the development in November 2014, the concrete of the original Station Car Prk (originally covering the entire area of the former Locomotive Works) is broken up in preparation fror the laying of the foundations for the Cityview building.

ABOVE: One of the major features of the Cityview development wasn't actually part of the building itself, but rather a continuation of the Green Corridor which runs from Old Shoreham Road, all the way along the path of the old Lower Goods Yard Trackbed all the way to the East side of the Station. The photo seen ABOVE shows the foundations for the path, which is interspersed by the flight of steps to the rear access of SuperB (seen in the background). On completion, the banks will be planted with indigenous plants, trees and shrubs in order to encourage wildlife as well as chilled out commuters.

BELOW: This photo shows the same location detailed in the photo seen ABOVE, but looking due north. The planting of the banks of the Green Corridor are taking well.

BELOW: this picture looks back towards the Station, seen from the north. and looking due south. The path of the Green Corridor is seen clearly on the right and the steps and lift that will form part of the Indigo Hotel development (under construction at the time of writing - 14th November 2016) are seen in front of the Cycle Hub building, dead centre of the photo. Planting is well underway, but needs time to take thoroughly.

BELOW: Nearly done! This view shows the Green Corridor gently meandering down the slop between Cityview (left) and SuperB (right). OneBrighton can be seen in the gap between the two, flanking the western side of New England Street. The planting is complete and looks very pretty, seen here in December 2015.

BELOW: An unusual three-quarter panoramic shot of the frontage of Cityview, looking due magnetic north in December 2015. The Jurys Inn Hotel can be seen clearly in the background.
