As an ex-Brightonian, I was saddened to view your web site's archive pictures of the collapsed West Pier.
Of course, I had read of the tragedy in the national Press but your photos truly brought home the loss we have suffered.
I do not know if moves are afoot to reconstruct the grand old lady of Brighton seafront but I shall, at least, have my memories of her from my school days in the early-Sixties.
I shall continue to visit your web site - in the hope of reading some good news about the pier.
