5. According to the book "The Cement Industry 1796-1914: A History" by A. J. Francis, Chapter 6, page 103 states:-
"William Lockwood senior's youngest son was Philip Causton born in 1821. After architectural training he obtained a position with William Burn of Piccadilly, one of the country's principal architects of the period. After 1850 he accepted an offer from the Duke of Norfolk to become surveyor to the Arundel estates and in 1858 was appointed surveyor and engineer to Brighton Corporation where he remained 46 years. He died in 1908 and was survived by one daughter.
6. From http://shmani.co.uk/bandstand/history.html
The Brighton Bandstand, also known as The Birdcage and the Bedford Square Bandstand was designed by Phillip Causton Lockwood in 1883 and manufactured by Walter Macfarlane & Co. of Saracen Foundry in Glasgow, and constructed in 1884. The Bandstand was designed as part of a project which included landscaped enclosures and covered shelters to improve facilities on the seafront in Brighton and Hove. It was originally intended as a sheltered area for Ladies to rest in and admire the sea views, but soon became host to Bands and Gentlemen.

The designer, Philip Lockwood studied architecture in London before marrying a local Brighton (Hove actually) girl and settling in Kemp Town. He was Brighton's borough surveyor for over 25 years and designed several local structures, many depicting the delicate latticed arches that are such a significant emblem of the Bandstand.

Other examples of his work included the latticed arches adorned with alternate figurines of Neptune and Aphrodite that many still remember were on the sheltered promenade known as the Madeira Walk. His seafront designs were expensive and controversial at the time, but are now highly regarded. The Brighton Bandstand is considered one of the finest examples of a Victorian bandstand, and the only one remaining in Brighton. In 1910 there were eight bandstands including one further along the seafront in Hove where the Babylon Lounge now stands. That bandstand was torn down in 1965.

The Brighton Bandstand was a popular venue for bands through the early 1960s until a change in appreciation for historic preservation took hold of Brighton in the mid-1960s. The Bandstand began to decay from neglect, and the bridge connecting the bandstand to Kings Road was removed in the 1970s for reasons of safety. The Bandstand has been left unused ever since. It is likely that 40 years of neglect would have seen the demise of this 'jewel' in the prom's crown, if the Brighton Bandstand Campaign had not been set up in 2007. (See 'About Us' click thro)

The Bandstand is a Grade II Listed building and Brighton's last remaining Bandstand. In May 2007 the newly elected Councillors of Brighton and Hove City Council, with the backing of all political parties, agreed to fully fund its renovation. The restoration work started in September 2008, and the roof and cast iron metal super-structure will be restored in two different Sussex specialist workshops. The 2500 people who signed the Petition can now look forward to seeing it fully restored and in use as both as a musical venue and cafe in summer 2009.

Noted events in his life were:

• Occupation: Builder (1841), Architect (1851 - 1861), Civil Engineer (1871 - 1901).

Philip married Sarah Duke ⁴¹ ^,55 ^,56 ^,57 ^,58 ^,144 about Dec 1852 in Worthing Registration District, Sussex.¹⁴⁵ Sarah was born about 1835 in Arundel, Sussex and died about Mar 1922 in Brighton, Sussex^¹⁴⁶ aged about 87.
