i have no clue why this bloody monstrosity that I remember well as a child as the West Pier still exists

Does anyone in their right minds think this shouldn't just be blown up or sunk or sold for scarp

Eye sore

Ha! I liked it!

Great photo. Devastating as the fire was, the ruins of that Pier brings me joy as it looks dramatic all year round.

It’s very beautiful

Is there a reason it wasn't pulled down? Was it just a, 'It's part of our history' decision?

I’m sure there are richer sources, but the “restoration” section of this Wikipedia article might be somewhere to start! I’m afraid I know nothing more than I’ve just read https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/West_Pier

Thanks. In fairness I should have looked it up myself. While we have it though, it does have a beauty of its own, and the picture is fantastic.

ls that the old pier at Weston?

It’s the West Pier in Brighton. I’m just visiting and have some time to kill, so quietly reading a book/ staring out the window in a quiet hotel on the sea front. It’s delightful!

Sounds like a lovely way to spend a day!
