Ten months ago the Victorian pier near my home in Eastbourne was set alight. The grand pavilion built in 1877 was destroyed. Restoration work is now underway and the remaining part of the pier is once again open to the public. I took a stroll along it with my trusty camera.

And finally, a couple I took last year!
Great collection of images. Looks like a nice place to visit. I love the last two shots. I am glad the pier is being restored. Have a happy day and week ahead!
ReplyDeleteI'm glad they're restoring it - piers are wonderful structures. My local pier was bombed in WWII and never replaced. I love the colours in that final picture; it looks like a painting.
ReplyDeleteThe last photo is just stunning. The colors are so gorgeous!
ReplyDeleteIt's great that the restoration of the pier is going well love the photos, It's been years since I have been to Eastbourne :-)

What a loss of history. Glad to see they are restoring it.
ReplyDeleteSuch a shame that it was destroyed in the fire but I'm glad that they are restoring it. Great photos!
ReplyDeleteI was heartbroken when heard about the fire. Although I'd only been to Eastbourne once, many years ago, the pier was the first of its kind I'd ever seen and I was captivated by it.
ReplyDeleteAnother set of wonderful images!
ReplyDeleteWhat a beautiful restoration!! The architecture is wonderful!!!
ReplyDeleteI agree with everyone here. Thank you for the awesome photos!

The last one... just wow! :) Beautiful.
ReplyDeleteI was just there when it happened and went down the next morning. It was still smoking. It was terrible. I love this pier so much. Hopefully it will be completely restored for summer !
ReplyDeleteThe fire is such a sad thing. But it's good to see it is being rebuilt.

It's always so sad when a beloved landmark goes down in flames, or gets ruined in a storm. Your pictures tell a fantastic story about rebuilding. Is this place near you?
ReplyDeleteJust a stone's throw away Heather. It a structure that has always been part of my life.
