Hastings Pier in East Sussex opened in 1872 and was originally 910ft (280m) long.
Described as 'a peerless pier' at its 1872 opening, it took 56,000 people through its turnstiles in just one August week in 1931.
In the Sixties, the ballroom at its seaward end hosted concerts by Jimi Hendrix, Bob Marley, Pink Floyd, Cilla Black and the Rolling Stones.
Sadly it was repeatedly damaged by storms and flames, and was finally closed for safety reasons in 2008.
Two years later, it experienced a devastating fire.
Sixty firefighters were on the scene at the height of the incident. Their priority was to preserve as much of the structure, including the main steel work as possible, but 95% of the structure was destroyed.
Thanks to the resolve of the Hastings Pier Charity, working with Hastings Borough Council and English Heritage, funding was secured to rebuild the landmark structure which will hopefully be open for business and pleasure again in 2015.

Hello, I am Terri Waters, born in London UK in the last century, now happily settled in Mylor Bridge, Cornwall. Every morning when I pull back my curtains there is a whole new day asking to be explored and I can't wait to grab my camera, get on my bicycle and see where the road takes me. As a designer I venture into digital art every now and again. A change is as good as a rest for my legs and my bike. Sometimes an idea pops into my head from nowhere and I can't wait to produce an image to convey it to the outside world. Would you like your own photographs made perfect or your own works of art given a new twist for more variety of prints from your originals?
