HFF from Swanage Pier!

HFF from Swanage Pier!
Swanage Pier is Victorian and is one of just a few wooden piers left in UK. It was built in 1895 for passenger ship services. It still has daily ferries between Poole Harbour and Swanage. A trust took on the task of raising over £1,000,000 needed to carry out major restoration work on the pier's piles, timbers and ironwork fittings. It was reopened in 1998, after a period of decline.

Das ist ja schön,dass es da so einen tollen Zugang zu diesen Pier gibt liebe Rosa,das habens ie schön gemacht,es sind auch für Bänke für eine Rast gesorgt,sehr schön hast du diesen Anblick festgehalten :))

Wünsche noch einen schönen Nachmittag,ganz liebe Grüße Güni :))

Rosalyn Hilborne club has replied to Günter Klaus club
Thank you very much Günter. It is a long pier and takes a lot of upkeep, so there is a small charge of £1.80 to walk along it, which I gladly paid.

Good evening and wish you a good weekend, Rosa.

 Keith Burton
Keith Burton club
A fantastic example of one of the many Victorian piers Rosa..............looking splendid in the sunshine. Beautifully composed with nice leading lines and a wonderful view to the distant cliffs. Judging by the bunting, it looks like it was quite a windy day.

I haven't been to Swanage for over ten years............I'd add it to my list, but I'm running out of paper :-))
19 months ago.
Rosalyn Hilborne club has replied to Keith Burton club
It is one of the best piers and very well cared for Keith. There is a charge of £1.80, but I gladly paid that. It was the bunting that prompted me to take he picture, but thankfully it was only windy on the pier. Just around the cliffs is Studland Bay and Poole Harbour a little further on.

Thank you for your kind comments. Your list sounds just as long as mine!!
Have a great weekend Keith.

It's so heartening to see that people are willing to invest themselves and their money in such projects that put history first; and culture, heritage, etc.
You've taken a perspective that is both striking in design and deliciously - and eternally - nostalgic, Rosa. A precious testimony with a true and universal charm.
Many thanks for it and a good weekend & HFF to you, dearest.
19 months ago.
Rosalyn Hilborne club has replied to Eric Desjours club
Thank you for your very kind comments dear Eric. Many of the people who help with piers and heritage railways are retired and only too happy to volunteer. I am quite surprised to see so many young people helping out though. This pier is a lovely asset to the small seaside town.
Best wishes Eric and I hope you have a good and sunny weekend.

Eric Desjours club has replied to Rosalyn Hilborne club
It is true that the younger generations surprise us here and there with their commitment, which contrasts with the image of screen addicts that we may have and that the media give of them. It's indeed encouraging as well as reassuring about the message we want to give them.
Have a nice day, Rosa.

Andy Rodker club
Super shot, Rosa and rightly already very popular!
HFF!
I'm amzed it's still there! I should think all the other wooden piers have long ago gone up in flames (often an insurance job I have good reason to suspect!).
19 months ago.
Rosalyn Hilborne club has replied to Andy Rodker club
There is still evidence of a much older wooden pier not far from this one Andy. There is continuous work required to keep this one in good shape, hence the small charge to enter. They also run a diving and sailing school which must also bring in much needed cash.

Thank you for your kind comments.
Sunday greetings.

Es una composición bonita. Los banderines delatan brisa ligera y aportan dinamismo, también el hombre con el coche de niños... luego los acantilados al fondo enfilan a mar abierta, desafiando a los temporales. En las Arenas tenemos uno parecido, le llamamos “El embarcadero”, también tiene forma de “L” invertida y aporta recuerdos de niñez y juventud.

Rosalyn Hilborne club has replied to José Manuel Polo club
Thank you very much. I am pleased you like it. There is a diving and sailing school along the pier. It is kept it good order by a Trust and they do a fine job. There is a small charge to help with the upkeep, which I am more than happy to pay. Best regards Jose Manuel.
