Piers Photographic Memories

Our seaside piers are masterpieces of Victorian engineering. Some were modest structures that began their lives as landing places for pleasure steamers. Others were elegant and exotic, created to impress, thrusting out into the sea with characteristic Victorian aplomb. By 1900 piers were the focus for seaside fun, and thousands of holiday-makers pushed through the turnstiles to enter a world far removed from their workaday lives. This evocative collection of archive photographs from The Francis Frith Collection shows our piers during the times when they were at their most popular. Written by Tim Mickleburgh, a former chairman of the National Piers Society, this book offers a fascinating history of Britain’s piers. This book will spark many memories for you and your family, and provide hours of enjoyable reading and reminiscing.
