Description

Claremont Pier, Suffolk, mostly closed and falling down:( Just the sea gulls up there now

Unscrupulous pier owners used to set fire to their piers when the became so broken down, for the insurance money. Now fire insurance is too expensive. And so are repairs, it seems. A shame. They were built in the mid 19th century so that paddle steamers could take Londoners down the Thames and stop off at various seaside towns on the North Sea coast. The boats are all long gone now. I remember going on them as a child - it was a wonderful day out:)
