I love piers, spent a lot of my youth on 3 of them.
You would think they had the protection a big corporation has by now. |

Just got back from an evening surveying the area.
Small scattered fires still glowing at 10:15pm The outer 2/3s of the structure seems to be OK Dozens and dozens of emergency vehicles My other half, in her official duty, found out there's two safes dangling from the structure, that were in the arcade! |

Really disappointing news. BBC local news were reporting from it this morning and it was a sad sight.
Piers are fantastic, a beautiful part of our seaside heritage and a real focal point of towns that have them. Really hope it will be restored and not left to rot (or knocked down) just to save money. |

Sian Williams, the former Breakfastime presenter, spoke on the BBC news about her childhood on the pier.
She hoped the finances would be found to keep the pier going. |
