The West Pier, Kings Road, Brighton - Brighton and Hove, City of (UA)
Pier, 1864-66 by Eugenius Birch. Closed in 1975. Historic England has declared its view that the combination of significant damage and cost of repair make restoration from public funds uneconomic. In early 2013 the eastern side of the structure collapsed following cold weather conditions, and in February 2014, further main supports on the eastern side were washed away, splitting the former pavilion into two sections.
