Britain's seaside piers
Brighton, Blackpool, Southend, and the pleasure architecture of Victorian Britain.
Britain invented the pleasure pier — a Victorian solution to the engineering problem of how to get holidaymakers out over the sea without getting their feet wet. Of the 100-odd built between 1814 and 1915, around 50 still stand. These are the ones worth visiting: Brighton's Palace Pier, Blackpool's three, Southend's mile-and-a-third, Cromer, Eastbourne, Llandudno.
