Barriers South 2009
 Newhaven Fort View - 131 Design | |
Event Details | |
| Photographic exhibition of the lost counterscarp galleries at Newhaven Fort | |
| Barriers South is a series of five exhibitions at fortifications along the South Coast. The Newhaven Fort exhibition brings the lost counterscarp galleries back to life. The galleries are below the ground, immersed in darkness and damp. During World War II they were the officer’s recreation area: the walls were then painted after the War, by the Air Sea Rescue. For safety reasons these galleries are not open; and, due to damp, the pictures are disappearing. 131 Designs have photographed the galleries to make them accessible, and preserve them for the future. There will be a late night opening on 30 May, with the images projected onto the Fort and film screening. There will also be a talk about the Fort and a Royal British Legion trumpeter playing on the ramparts. Entry for the late night £2.80. | |
