I simply did not know that the Pier burnt! I lived in Brighton for 3 years in the mid 80s and I was shocked by the photos. I had so many lovely souvenirs of walks by the seaside, thinking of my family living on the other side of the sea . Thanks for all these other beautiful photos. It’s a nice way to go back to a place you loved once.
Very sad. Makes the wonderful 2002 pictures you have on this website seem even more meaningful. Truth is, it’s a wonder it made it until 2003. What a shame they waited too long to do a proper renovation which would have utilized some of the old structure.
