It's a tragedy, because even if they rebuild, it's history gone up in flames.

What a shame

Hubby and I have been there many times, what a disaster. I have just seen a news report saying it will be rebuilt...I hope so.

used to go there when i was a child with my dad


We went on a day trip once to weston my brother was always wandering off and as we drove into weston my cousin said to my brother who was about 8 if "you get lost you have to go there" pointing to the lost property office on the seafront, well he did his disappearing act and where did we find him sitting on the counter eating sweets with a lady at the lost property office.

Happy memories and so sad the pier has gone

Tragic, another pier lost. Sad for WSM, sad for the young couple and sad for all of us who have lost another piece of history.
