September offers Brighton and Hove Rsidents and visitors the unusual opportunity of stepping htorugh the door of a numebr of public and private buildings.
In a scheme called Heritage Open Days 2009, held between the 10 and 13 of September, a select number of buildings with particular historical or heritage value will be open to exlporation for free by the public.
Its the brainchild of Dr Andy Brown, the South East Regional Director of English Heritage and he outlines the aim of the scheme as follows:
“Heritage Open Days provide visitors with the opportunity to explore places which, however familiar, are normally closed and therefore mysterious.
“They provide a chance not only to discover hidden history, but to meet the people who live or work there, and are passionate about their subject.
“They demonstrate that the great wealth of our culture and history is all around us, on every street and under our feet and that we can explore for ourselves. That is what makes them so popular with adults and children alike.”
If you think youd like to step through th eprivate doors of some of Brightons most interesting buildings then visit English Heritage’s website and get a full list of venues – including Brightons Old Police Cells underneath the City Town Hall
Brighton Short Breaks has properties all over the Brighton and Hove district – a great launch pad for exloring the cities treasures.
