Hasting pier joins end of season fire collection.

For those that aren't up on the news it looks like yet another piece of seaside furniture has gone forever :-/

They got the guys that did it though I believe....won't bring the machines back mind.

Not too bothered about the machines - more about the structure. They are not sure it is safe anymore so it could be another Pier gone for good.

its defo an english thing with the piers, we dont have many up here, if any. but there will be a few bargains to be had. sad though it is, it will probably just become an eyesore. pity though as they do seem to be, all going up in smoke. cheers.

Hmmmm, end of season...

Seems to be the fashion down here at the moment.

Made me furious when I heard about this. Its been closed for a few years now, I think anything like Arcade cabs had been removed since they padlocked it up to stop people going on, the council had only just managed to get it back from the owners. Great great shame, I am a member of the National Piers Society, really pisses me off that all the slow bureaucracy and red tape effectively consigns our heritage to the bin. (as already seen with the west pier in Brighton). Chances are it could have been an insurance job. bah!
