West Pier Salvage


West Pier Salvage Auction-4, originally uploaded by Phil Steere.

I took a walk down to the seafront today with a friend who had told me they were selling off a lot of the metalwork from the West Pier. I thought it might be interesting so I grabbed my camera and went down for a look.

For a start all the items were situated in a creepy looking storage space tucked under the old entrance to the pier. I had always wanted to have a look round in there, but it's always been locked since I have known about it, so that was a bonus!

There was a good selection of ornate metalwork on offer, at surprisingly high prices! I did manage to buy a very small section of prominade metalwork for a dirt cheap price as a souvenir.
