Tourist attraction

Again Brighton. This time the West pier, which closed a while ago and later burnt down in an arsen attack (to the best of my knowledge). It still attracts just as many tourists as the newer pier, with all it's funfair rides, stalls and arcades, and in my opinion is infinitely more attractive. You only have to walk around the Brighton lanes to see dozens of stalls and shops selling photographic prints of this pier, many of them taken when the structure was actually on fire. Today it stands out to sea, cut off from the shore and abandoned due to it's unsafe stucture.

A fallen down pier?

Artist Reply: yup, the bridge going out to it and most of the buildings collapsed during the fire. It was on the national news.
