Summary

[edit]
Description
English: Eastbourne Pier Eastbourne Pier dates from 1872. It has suffered its share of damage from the elements, part being swept away in 1877, and during World War II the decking was removed and machine guns were installed to provide a useful point from which to repel enemy landings (shades of Walmington-on-Sea). The Pier's Victorian camera obscura - under the minaret-like dome on the right - was restored in 2003. At the pier entrance is a fish and chip kiosk, which in my experience serves up an excellent product.
