The University of Brighton is a public university based on four campuses in Brighton and Eastbourne on the south coast of England. Its roots can be traced back to 1858 when the Brighton School of Art was opened in the Royal Pavilion. It achieved university status in 1992.
The University focuses on practical, creative, and professional education, with the majority of degrees awarded also recognised by professional organisations or leading to professional qualifications. Subjects include pharmacy, engineering, ecology, computing, mathematics, architecture, geology, nursing, teaching, sport science, journalism, criminology and business. It has around 18,000 students and 2,400 staff. The QS World University Rankings places the university within the top 100 internationally for Art and Design.
In 2018, the University of Brighton gained a first class award in the People & Planet's University League table – UK universities ranked by environmental and ethical performance.

RARE
SURVIVING TIMBER BUILDING - When
Howard Carter discovered Tutankhamun's
tomb in 1922, the dig was not much to look at. A lot of sand and a small
entrance, amongst a desert of dunes. But once inside, the small chamber, the Egyptologist realised
that the monument was intact. Hence was a treasure trove.
The old
Generating
Station in Lime
Park, at Herstmonceux, is not of outstanding architectural design or construction (except for the use of
redwood and extensive architrave). What is astonishing is that it remains extant, where
other early electricity
stations have been demolished by property
developers, or rotted away.
Indeed, many former residents in
Lime
Park, and two recent newcomers, have not
grasped that this is all that is left as evidence of our transition from
coal, to electricity. It is believed to be the only example surviving anywhere on the planet
of its kind, including load levelling via a giant battery store, comprising roughly half of the building,
with substantial shelves where weighty lead-acid batteries were stored
in glass containers, to power the whole village of Herstmonceux, and Lime
Park
estate, overnight.
The
Trust that occupies the buildings, needs help to maintain this interesting industrial complex. The
buildings have no reasonable or beneficial use, the local authority
doing all they can to prevent conservation. Placing manifold obstacles
in the way, where they should be helping those interested in restoring
the historic asset, to achieve that ideal.
