Pier
Description
The elegant pier with a small selection of shops, a Victorian tea rooms and a small games arcade, whilst not as showy as it's better known neighbour in Brighton, provides a focus for the sea front and offers an insight into the Victorian seaside town. Sadly, a couple of weeks before visiting in August 2014 a devastating fire destroyed the main arcade at the landwards end of the pier. By the time I visited the site had already been cleared and work was well underway to get the deck of the pier re-opened before the end of the year and full repairs to be completed as quickly as possible
