Its peculiar physicality whereby the natural landscape of sea and sand combines 7 8 with distinctive architectural elements, such as pavilions and piers, has accommodated 9 10 many and varied leisure activities across the years. However, to date, the majority of 11 research on British coastal resorts considers these activities solely in connection with 12 13 tourism. Using a combination of contextual archival research, participant observations, 14 semi-structured interviews and oral history narratives, this article attempts a deliberate 15 16 shift in focus where the leisure activities of a young local population are brought to the 17 fore in the history of British seaside entertainment and, in particular, their experiences 18 19 of pleasure piers in the post-war era. The article also explores the potential for the 20 21 concept of the ‘community pier’ in terms of nurturing seaside leisure cultures in the 22 present and future.

  • Net Fishing Around Piers Code of Practice Poster
    NET FISHING AROUND PIERS CODE OF PRACTICE Southern IFCA has introduced a new Code of Practice (CoP) for net fishing around piers. The Code prevents the use of fishing nets, except landing and drop nets, from within 200m of nine piers in the Southern IFC District. The piers affected are: • Sandown Pier, Sandown, Isle of Wight; • Ryde Pier Head, Ryde, Isle of Wight; • South Parade Pier, Portsmouth, Hampshire; • Yarmouth Pier, Yarmouth, Isle of Wight; • Boscombe Pier, Bournemouth, Dorset; • Bournemouth Pier, Bournemouth, Dorset; • Swanage Pier, Swanage, Dorset; • Weymouth Stone Pier, Weymouth, Dorset; and • Weymouth Pleasure Pier, Weymouth, Dorset. Visit the ‘All Regulations’ page on the Southern IFCA website www.southern-ifca.gov.uk to view the Code and maps of closure areas. Recreational sea angling is a popular activity in the Southern IFC District and the pier locations in the Code provide important access for participants. These measures aim to balance the different needs of people fishing in the Southern IFC District, in line with the Authority’s duties under the Marine and Coastal Access Act, 2009. The Code was developed as a first alternative to a byelaw, in consultation with sector representatives from the Recreational Angling Sector Group (RASG) and the South Coast Fisherman’s Council (SCFC). This Code of Practice will be reviewed no later than 31st December 2022. Should the code prove ineffective, Southern IFCA will consider the introduction of regulatory measures. If you would like to report information relating to the possible non-compliance of this code to the Authority you can complete the form on our website: www.southern-ifca.gov.uk/contact-us, or call 01202 721373.

In a bid to prompt a countrywide discussion on the historical significance of these seaside struc- tures an unusual national exhibition followed in 2014 whereby 13 coastal venues simultaneously exhibited up to five works from the series, including their most local pier. In October 2015 all but a handful of Roberts’s pier photographs came together at the Brighton Museum and Art Gallery (http://brightonmuseums.org.uk/brighton/) in Sussex, on the south east coast of England – an appropriate end point to the project given that Brighton is home to the most visited pier in the UK, the Palace Pier, as well as the sculptural remains of the country’s first Grade 1-listed pier: the West Pier. It was Roberts’s photograph of the now derelict (and fast diminishing) West Pier that greeted us as we entered the first floor exhibition rooms dedicated to Pierdom, a curatorial choice that was very much in line with the 2014 national exhibition in that the venue prioritised a local pier, but also a choice that emphasised the compelling visual qualities of these intricately- designed but ultimately fragile Victorian structures.
