The pier was bought by new owners and months later a fire, insurance job, when it was closed aswell, insurance paid out, new building, more income, simple. What a waste
It actually makes me cry, I came here when I was 10 it was the best pier ever, It didn't deserve to burn down and the new pier just isn't the same, doesn't have its old charm.
@instrumentalist122 ofcoarse it was an insurance job, the country is in so much debt they simply tourch places to get the insurance, things like pubs, arcades etc...well the pier was simply one of those...so sad
All the people saying it only started in one place so could have been saved- they said that all the inside was on fire when they got there it all just came through the roof at the same time so looked like it spread really quickly! It is reopened now and better than ever!
very devastating i was traveling down to weston the day it happened for a holiday and was looking forward to going on the pier to try out the new go carts but it has also done them a favour look at the new ultra modern pier we now have
Weston Grand Pier burning + The Corrs + living in Weston my whole life = one of the saddest things I've ever seen. I had so many memories at that place <3
In the first part is only started in one place and there is people on there so if they had reported it quicker we could have saved more of the Pier :(
i just heard off my friend in Weston Super Mare and they said that the Grand Pier was being rebuilt this week! Also on the website they should be finished during the summer of 2010
@TheGrandPier watz up yeah i know the pier went but good new is the pier is almost done! so soon it would be summer ok but u will be happy when it comes ok well nice time talking to u bye (:
I love the pier it was one of my favorate attractions of the U.K then I was told it was burnt down I didn't belive them at 1st but then I saw the news & it was such a shock because it is so rare that a place like that catches fire it was a total screw up as I was going to try out the 2 WEEK OLD go cart track so it was a total screw up of my summer :(
I live in weston and i'm only 12. My friend text me at 8:30am telling me the pier was on fire. i didn't beleive her! i remember going to see it when it had burnt down. It was just a heap of metal. one of the rides, one i was hoping to go on, was still kinda standing in the centre. my brother lives right in front of the pier and was the first on the scene. he took loads of pictures. I was planning to go on the pier about 2 days after it burnt down. So, i guess that was my summer ruined :S :(
