In 2019, the Village of Fair Haven, NY and Little Sodus Bay Harbor suffered damage to a critical piece of maritime infrastructure. The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers Buffalo District was called to action to repair the structure, and Lex Barker, USACE Buffalo project manager, is here to explain what happened and future work at the site.

A discussion with the cast and production team about Artform's production of OH! What A Lovely War performed at the Broadway Studios Theatre in SE London.Oh! What a Lovely War summarises and comments on the events of World War I using popular songs of the time, many of which were parodies of older popular songs, and using allegorical settings such as Brighton's West Pier to criticise the manner in which the eventual victory was won.The diplomatic maneuvering and events involving those in authority are set in a fantasy location inside the pierhead pavilion, far from the trenches. In the opening scene, various foreign ministers, generals and heads of state walk over a huge map of Europe, reciting actual words spoken by these figures at the time.Songs once sung by men in the trenches helped audiences to think of the war from the point of view of ordinary soldiers rather than officers.Ever wondered what goes into putting on a show? Find out as we have a discussion with the cast and production team about Artform's theatre productions.www.Artform.org.uk

Helen Castor is joined by the architectural writer and cultural commentator Travis Elborough and garden historian Deborah Trentham. Tom Holland takes a ride on Brighton's new attraction, the British Airways i360, and is joined at 450 feet by Professor Fred Gray to gain new insight into the history of seaside attractions. Surprisingly, the new doughnut on a stick (as locals are describing it), offers similar experiences and challenges to those of the West Pier which opened 150 years ago. In Norfolk, Radio 4's organic gardening legend Bob Flowerdew gets to grips with a character who, on the face of it, is his horticultural opposite. Lancelot 'Capability' Brown was born 300 years ago and Bob visits one of his masterpieces - Kimberley Hall - to ask landscape historian Professor Tom Williamson where the neatness and order of the English country house came from and what it was supposed to do for those who lived with it. We continue our series of forgotten history heroes as food writer William Sitwell nominates the man who became famous for his pie but who also kept Britain fed during World War 2 - Lord Fred Woolton A Pier production for BBC Radio 4.

This podcast is a summertime special to accompany my new summer e-book 5:2 Summer Ready, which takes favourite tips, recipes and ideas from my four 5:2 books – it’s the ideal short introduction if you’ve never read a book on intermittent fasting. (If you do have my other books, you won’t need this new e-book – but this podcast will be perfect for re-inspiration!). And even if you're in the southern hemisphere, where I know summer is a memory right now, I hope you'll find it useful! The podcast includes tips on boosting your fasting success; my views on the 'summer body' controversy; ideas for enjoying that summer feeling all-year-round AND, a specially recorded 10-minute meditation (which you can also download and listen to separately). I recorded the podcast on Brighton beach, just past the West Pier – so you’ll hear authentic wave sound effects, not to mention our giant seagulls! There are lots of tips plus a very special relaxing meditation to help you relax and stay on track with your healthier, more confident life…   Go to the shownotes to read more and find links to fitness apps and much more. You can also download the Meditation separately to use whenever you like.

Built on the Clyde almost a century and a half ago the West Pier is one of the most photographed buildings in Brighton. Local historian Geoffrey Mead, once a pier tour guide himself, is very well placed to reveal some of her best kept secrets.

After a lifetime of touring Cunningham settled in Brighton, where he became a star attraction on the now defunct West Pier. He wrote his own epitaph "...at the funeral do not despair, there's a chance Omani won't be there"
