Stormy Day in December 2018(UK)

The proposal for a pier was first mooted at the end of 1863, and highly favoured by the town’s major landowner, the seventh Duke of Devonshire. It was to have been 1000 feet in length and, at a cost of £12,000, would have been situated at the end of the town’s grandest avenue, Devonshire Place. However, the project was delayed and finally abandoned in favour of the present site at the junction of Grand and Marine Parades, thus creating the easterly end of what amounts to a shingle bay.
