More about this scene
There was something for everyone at New Brighton. On the beach there was a children's boating pool, and the Pier had a bar and an amusement palace on it. The Pier was built to accommodate the crowds, and was really two piers next to each other. The river at this point was prone to silting, and though no-one could know it at the time, this would prove to be a major problem. It was the main reason that the ferries gave up, at the end of Summer 1971. After this, the Pier soon fell into decay, and was later pulled down.
