- Marine Gate is a large block of flats built in 1939 to the design of architects Wimperis, Simpson and Guthrie. It stands at the eastern end of the English seaside resort of Brighton, overlooking Brighton Marina and Black Rock. Originally built with 105 flats, a restaurant and offices, internal reconfiguration has increased the number of flats to 132. The International/Modern-style building is situated in a prominent clifftop position at the eastern entrance to Brighton. Its proximity to a large gasworks resulted in it being damaged by bombs several times during World War II, to the extent that it was Brighton's most bombed building. The block occupies a commanding position at the main entrance to Brighton from the east. Its bold form, with Art Deco features and "nautical touches", has invoked strong opinions among architectural historians and critics. Described variously as "interesting", "elegant" and "comparing favourably with Embassy Court" (a famous building of the same era further west), a 2002 critique by Anthony Seldon placed it among "the city's worst ten buildings".
