From a short sequence of images taken at Skegness, Lincolnshire, UK

East Coast Britain Victorian iron-work at the end of the pier at Skegness, Lincolnshire.

Skegness Pier opened in June 1881 and was at the time the fourth longest in England. When originally built, it was a T-shaped pier with a saloon/concert hall at the pier head. Steamboat trips ran from the pier until 1910.

A severe storm in 1978 caused significant damage to Skegness Pier, isolating the pier head and shelters which were ultimately demolished in the mid-1980s due to the significant costs of restoration.

The present day pier length is 118 m, with no remaining evidence of the former pierhead and shelters. Although a large part of Skegness Pier has now been lost due to the storm of 1978, some of the old Victorian features still remain.
