A sad shell

That is all that remains of the West Pier in Brighton.
I realise there are a few too many 'samey' snaps here, but I include them all for two reasons. Firstly they are a mix of ones taken by myself and a friend of mine, Lawrence, who took them on my camera as well, so am not sure entirely which ones are mine! And secondly, they are so incredibly sad. Almost 'ghosts' of the pier, that I feel I must post them all so the spirit of the West Pier somehow lives on through them.
There are now plans to salvage some of the reamins from under the sea, & build a twenty first century 'vertical' pier. I wish them well & hope it comes to fruition.
