Historic England has awarded a £500,000 grant towards the restoration of the Grade II* listed Winter Gardens.

The building - one of the last surviving Victorian seaside winter gardens in the country - has been closed to the public since 2008 and remains on the national Heritage at Risk Register due to its deteriorating condition.

The new grant will fund essential repairs to the iron framework and the removal and conservation of the building’s historic glass, ahead of a future reinstallation.
