Relics / West Pier, Brighton

An image of all that remains of Brighton's West Pier, shot on a misty evening.

 

The Pier was designed by Eugenius Birch, opening in 1866 and closing in 1975. The pier was the first to be Grade I listed in Britain but has become increasingly derelict since closure.

 

The pier gradually collapsed during the early 21st century. Major sections collapsed in late 2002, and two fires in March and May 2003 left little of the original structure.

 

I have been meaning to visit here for a while, and decided to put it off no longer, as I was concerned given it's fragile state.
