This is Hastings Pier at sunset. It looks stunning with the sweeping skies of the southern coast. The Pier has an extraordinary heritage, particularly with the pavilion as a music venue.
Sadly, after many years of dereliction and neglect from a series of owners it was devastated by fire in 2010. Two people were arrested for arson but no charges were ever made.
The community has been fighting for years for this broken icon to be rebuilt and brought back into use. Finally, after a compulsory purchase order from the council, the pier is in the safe hands of the Hastings Pier and White Rock Trust who have funding and plans for it’s resurrection.
Please visit the Trust for more information and a chance to purchase a plank. Just click on the image for the link.

Lovely panorama, colours & reflection.
Thanks Daniel 🙂 Well I shall have to look a bit further at your blog but I love the images of the new university building. Looks fantastic! When is it due to open?
Should be moving in at the end of July and fully operational for the start of the new year in September.
Fantastic 🙂 Is the building mainly for computing studies?
Computing, Engineering, Life Sciences, the green tower will be a library.
That’s going to be a wonderful resource! My partner is a software engineer but I’m only really any good with the arts. Only started blogging this year and have plenty to learn!
