Arriving at the West pier in Brighton the fashionable seaside location does not seem to exist, unlike a few hundred yards down the seafront at Brighton’s Palace Pier which still exists and is an attraction today. The west pier is eerie with just a skeleton remaining, I think the lack of diversity may have led to this, having another pleasure pier so close with similar attractions made the demand for the pier to drop. A common view of people locally were that it was a shame it has been left and should have been removed, the main view was that the town had no need for the second pier and their seaside industry revolves more around the East end of the beach, where the palace pier is. Brighton’s facilities were old and I feel having looked into the abandonment of the pier that if the future and what people would want to do rather than the tradition and common facilities like the pier so close had been thought about then the pier could have still been a success, but like Eastbourne’s it needs money and I believe a new look into what people want to experience.
