More about this scene
Originally opened in 1900, the Victoria Pier contained a 2500-seater pavilion. The present closed pavilion only dates from 1934; its art-deco style is impressive. The pier was purchased privately by Anne and Mike Paxman in 1994, who lived on the pier and were determined to restore and open all the facilities. Although the majority of the pier neck was reopened the pavilion remained closed, due to lack of funds. The pier was sold in 2003 to Mr S Hunt who hopes to continue restoring the pier to its former glory.
