Pier steals the show on BBC
Weston Super Mare pier fire on Monday
When Weston Super Mare's pier burnt down earlier in the week, I immediately thought of our very own
pier at Southend.
It's been burnt many times - most recently in 2005, when a pub at the end went up in smoke. It took
the council just a month to reopen the pier to visitors, showing the true British spirit of
"getting on with things".
