More about this scene
The longest seaside pier in the world, Southend's first pier lasted from 1830 to 1887. It was then replaced, and the new structure opened on 24 August 1890. Extensions were opened eight years later which took its length to a record-breaking 7080 feet. An electric railway took people to the pierhead.
