Views of the beach from Brighton Palace Pier, commonly known as Brighton Pier or the Palace Pier in Brighton, Sussex, England. Opened in 1899, it was the third pier to be constructed after the Chain Pier collapsed in 1896 during construction. Now the only one still in operation, it quickly became popular and became a frequently-visited theatre and entertainment venue by 1911. Aside from closures owing to war, it continued to hold regular entertainment up to the 1970s whhen the theatre was damaged in 1973 and demolished in 1986, changing the pier's character from seaside entertainment to an amusement park, with various fairground rides and roller coasters.
