[Leica] IMG: West Pier, Brighton - for Douglas

[Gerry Walden]

Thanks for looking Douglas. It is forlorn, but in a strange way it has taken on a life of its own, and  is now a attraction in its own right somehow. The area of seafront near there is being regenerated in a way that would never have happened before the pier was destroyed.

Before you say anything to your mother, remember that Brighton has/had two piers.
