This video was taken on the Uphill end of the beach on the 28/07/2008 at around 7:45 - 8:15 am. The death of the iconic Grand Pier on Weston seafront. I feel as if something very special has just died...it will rise again.

  • urban explorers? or was that a mistype and you really meant anal invaders. Easy mistake I suppose, by the sound of it they are one in the same thing.

  • Insurance job - Most definately. They owned the insurance company ffs

    and then what pissed me off more was they had a huge banner saying 'Give money for the pier regeneration fund' .. its a private business you shits! You fail, you fail. Get over it. The public should NOT have to pay to have it rebuilt. If you donated to this fund, then you are an idiot

  • insurance job or not.... it's a vast improvement over the old one. A pier for the 21st century as opposed to one stuck in a time warp...

  • Without the best pier in the country and with SUPERB glass-surround cafes on two floors at the far end of the building .................. VERY well designed ..... just go and visit it.

  • i was really annoyed when this happened two reasons

    1. it was 8 days after my birthday

    2. i was set to go to Weston Super Mare for a day at the pier on the 29th July

    however i am soooo happy that the pier is back now and i look forward to going to the pier with my college mates (End of year trip) on 14th June 2011. I Can't wait as the last time i went on the pier and weston itself was way back in 2006.
