Built in 1866 and destroyed by fire in 2003, the West Pier now stands as a monolithic reminder of days gone by

@Curly: Well as close as I could get to a tobacco grad in photoshop, not even a neutral density was going get as much detail out of that sky as I managed here, thanks also to my wife who lovingly held the brolly to stop the equipment getting wet! Thanks for your comment.

@sunstone_maria: It amazes me how this much of it is still standing, maybe one day enough cash will be raised to restore it's former glory.
