The old Birnbeck pier in Weston super Mare, now falling into disrepair since being bought by a property developer
Birnbeck Pier is a pier situated on the Bristol Channel in Weston-super-Mare, North Somerset, England, approximately south west of Bristol. It is the only pier in the country which links the mainland to an island, linking to Birnbeck Island, a rocky island just to the west of Worlebury Hill. The grade II listed pier was designed by Eugenius Birch and opened in 1867. The gothic toll house and pierhead buildings were designed by local architect Hans Price. The pier has been closed to the public since 1994 and is now on the Buildings at Risk Register. It was bought by CNM Estates in 2014 Wikipedia
