The 'Apollo Pavilion', also known as the 'Pasmore Pavilion', is a controversial piece of public art in the new town of Peterlee Link designed by British artist and architect Victor Pasmore Link
It was built between 1963 and 1970 using concrete, cast in situ, and was originally part art-work, part footbridge. After restoration in 2009, access to the upper platform is now controlled by a gate to try to prevent the abuse that has haunted the structure through much of its life. Lighting has also been restored and the lake and stream-side newly landscaped.
Peterlee was one of many new towns built after WWII following the New Towns Act of 1946. Pasmore was appointed as consulting director of urban design with the Peterlee Development Corporation in 1955 and contributed to the spatial arrangement of roads, housing and open spaces. The 'Apollo Pavilion' was named after the first manned mission to the moon in 1969 and was the culmination of his involvement.
