Maintenance cost?

Seems like this must be quite expensive for government to maintain -- what is the annual cost? Should be added to the article. 69.87.193.97 19:00, 13 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Merger proposal

I suggest Marine Pavilion (Brighton, England), which is poorly written, lacks sourcing and largely duplicates this article, be merged into this article. --Lo2u ^{(T • C)} 00:31, 30 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Good grief, I'd never noticed that article. Yeah, merge it in straight away, they're the same building after all. The other name could be left as a redirect just in case anybody tries it. – Kieran T ^(talk) 00:44, 30 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Done. There doesn't seem to be anything worth keeping in the other article that isn't in this one. I'm surprised it lasted so long - that page was actually the first search result for "Brighton Pavilion". --Lo2u ^{(T • C)} 00:53, 30 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Repetition

Surprisingly this article repeats itself exactly at the start of two sections. Both the "Purchase by Brighton" and "Tourism" sections begin with:

"Queen Victoria disliked Brighton and the lack of privacy the Pavilion afforded her on her visits there (especially once Brighton became accessible to Londoners by rail in 1841) and after her last visit to Brighton in 1845, the Government planned to sell the building and grounds. The Brighton Commissioners and the Brighton Vestry successfully petitioned the Government to sell the Pavilion to the town for £53,000 in 1850 under the Brighton Improvement (Purchase of the Royal Pavilion and Grounds) Act 1850"

The former after an opening sentence. Needless to say this should be fixed Gul e (talk) 21:56, 18 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]

1975 Fire/Arson in the Music Room

There is no mention of the arson attack in 1975 which damaged the music room; does anyone have any information about the perpetrator and any investigations and reporting of the cirmumstances and any criminal procedings?
