Eastbourne Herald’s Chief Reporter Annemarie Field was given a tour of the Devonshire Quarter site to see first-hand how work was progressing on the multi-million pound development.
Annemarie was shown around the construction site by Phil Evans, Director of Tourism and Leisure for Eastbourne Borough Council, Paul Quanstrom, Project Manager for Eastbourne Borough Council and Richard Etherington, Project Manager for Vinci Construction UK.
The tour included a view from the top of the Congress Theatre where work on the new lift shaft for the new Welcome Building, that will be linked to the theatre, could be seen.
Annemarie said: “It was fascinating to see how much is involved and to understand the scale of the new Welcome Building, which you really can’t appreciate from the outside.”
