Tortured Metal and Broken Beauty (PiP)
Captured on a late windy afternoon at Birnbeck Pier and Island, Weston Super Mare.
The PiP shows the twisted metal of the pier in close up, with the Welsh coast visible across the Bristol Channel in the background. The end of the pier in the PiP was where pleasure boats such as the steam boat, the Waverley' used to arrive and depart from. I can still remember taking a trip from there as a child.
Opening in 1867 the pier was popular with locals and tourists alike who have enjoyed funfairs and amusements and later on a beer cellar and theatre, and as you can see from the picture the lifeboat station was later housed here.
Now at last after many years of promises as broken as the structures here, the money has been found to restore this wonderful old pier and contractors have been appointed. I look forward to seeing the pier finally restored to it's former glory
I have added a song called 'Broken' by Jake Bugg

Roger (Grisly) club has addedOf course.... admiring the pip and zooming in, you can see the signs of time that have progressively ruined the bridge but it is hoped that its ancient and classic architecture will soon be restored.
Warm greetings

Have a good weekend
a walk along this pier is undoubtedly an attraction, just like the view in this picture
→ friendly greetings !
Ecobird club has replied to Marek Ewjan Stachows…When it first opened they charged a 1d to walk along here. It would be worth far more than that to walk along the length of the restored pier again. There is no price on nostalgia!!
Have a lovely weekend
Ecobird club has replied to Trevor King clubThe plands to renovate have, I believe been led by the RNLI who want to rebuild their lifeboat station here. It will be good to see.
Thank you for the note.

Ecobird club has replied to tiabunna clubHFF and have a good weekend
Erstaunlich, das dieses Bauwerk von 1867 so verfallen konnte.
Aber in dem Ort hat man noch eine zweite Pier (Grand Pier) nur ca, 1500m entfernt.
The Birnbeck Pier
Bei GoogleMap kann man beide gut sehen und weitere Fotos betrachten,
Ecobird club has replied to Ernst Doro clubYes there is a another pier which was given an overhaul a few years back and then caught fire and the work had to be redone. There is also a shorter Knightstone Pier between these two piers.
For my taste this newer pier is bright and more brash and does not have the elegance nor the history of the old pier. There is no comparison.
I am pleased you found it interesting and looked it up though. This is quite close to where we live.
Best wishes Carol
Thanks Carol. Lovely shot. Enjoy your weekend Dx
