Hastings Pier

It is December, and the 'Hub' for the Hastings Pier Charity has closed down now until Saturday 10th January 2015, consequently, I thought I would provide an update...


If you've passed the pier recently, you will have noticed the ballroom (shattered framework, that is) isn't there anymore, having been removed ahead of time, we are informed, and the zinc roof and cupolas of the Bandstand Pavilion are coming on too, as is the renovation of the pavilion itself. 

Steelwork is being replaced as required, and the decking looks more impressive every time I take a look! Preparations are being made to start construction work, in the New Year, for the new Visitor Centre, with 6 new piles to be bored to form the foundations (exploratory boreholes have already been dug) for a steel structure to support the new building. 

If you want to keep in touch with further development of the pier, either visit the Hub in the New Year, watch out for updates from me, or go to their website.
