  • Pier Pressure: Best Practice in the Rehabilitation of British Seaside Piers
    View metadata, citation and similar papers at core.ac.uk brought to you by CORE provided by Bournemouth University Research Online Pier pressure: Best practice in the rehabilitation of British seaside piers A. Chapman Bournemouth University, Bournemouth, UK ABSTRACT: Victorian seaside piers are icons of British national identity and a fundamental component of seaside resorts. Nevertheless, these important markers of British heritage are under threat: in the early 20th century nearly 100 piers graced the UK coastline, but almost half have now gone. Piers face an uncertain future: 20% of piers are currently deemed ‘at risk’. Seaside piers are vital to coastal communities in terms of resort identity, heritage, employment, community pride, and tourism. Research into the sustainability of these iconic structures is a matter of urgency. This paper examines best practice in pier regeneration projects that are successful and self-sustaining. The paper draws on four case studies of British seaside piers that have recently undergone, or are currently being, regenerated: Weston Super-Mare Grand pier; Hastings pier; Southport pier; and Penarth pier. This study identifies critical success factors in pier regeneration and examines the socio-economic sustainability of seaside piers. 1 INTRODUCTION This paper focuses on British seaside piers. Seaside pleasure piers are an uniquely British phenomena, being developed from the early 19th century onwards as landing jetties for the holidaymakers arriving at the resorts via paddle steamers. As seaside resorts developed, so too did their piers, transforming by the late 19th century into places for middle-class tourists to promenade, and by the 20th century as hubs of popular entertainment: the pleasure pier.

    Viewpoint Pier pressure © Rory Walsh Time: 15 mins Region: East of England Landscape: coastal Location: Southend Pier, Western Esplanade, Southend-on-Sea, Essex SS1 1EE Grid reference: TQ 88486 84941 Keep an eye out for: Wading birds and the masts of a wrecked Second World War ship, the SS Richard Montgomery 1.3 miles, 2.2 kilometres, 2,158 metres, 7,080 feet – however you measure it, Southend’s pleasure pier is the longest in the world. On hot days walking to the end can feel like making a pilgrimage to the sun. No wonder most of the pier’s 200,000 annual visitors hop aboard one of the special trains. From this proud symbol of Britain’s seaside you can enjoy sweeping views across the Essex Estuary, sample various amusements and send a postcard from the pier’s own letterbox. Why does Southend have the world’s longest pleasure pier? To begin let’s think about where we are. Southend Pier is in Southend-on-Sea. The ‘on-Sea’ part is an important reminder of why piers were built. Today most of us enjoy them from dry land but they were originally for travelling on water. Piers developed for docking boats. Landing at Southend is difficult though. If you are here at low tide, look for small boats stranded on sheets of mud. The water retreats a mile from the seafront. Even at high tide the sea is never deeper than six metres, so large boats can’t dock near the beach. If landing here was so much trouble, why go through the time and expense of building a huge pier? It’s no coincidence that many of Britain’s seaside piers date from the early 19th century.

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.

  • Sculptural Serenity: an Open Air Extravaganza on Blackpool’S Promenade Introduction
    SCULPTURAL SERENITY: AN OPEN AIR EXTRAVAGANZA ON BLACKPOOL’S PROMENADE INTRODUCTION When the opportunity to travel comes back into our lives in 2021, outdoor space, and the chance to explore new facets within it, are likely to be highly valued. The so-called ‘staycation’ is predicted to be the number one holiday trend this year and we may, for some time, need to do our own thing, keeping our distance from others, to keep everyone safe. If there is one thing Blackpool – and the rest of our Fylde coastline – has in abundance, it is open space. We are all said to have fallen in love with nature during lockdowns and our fabulous seafront offers every opportunity to explore its call, whether you listen to crashing waves, watch the sand change colour as the tide recedes, or pay attention to the cries of the herring gulls overhead. We reflect the colours of Blackpool within our luxury self- catering holiday apartments, using the ‘Left Coast Colour Palette’ within each one’s individual branding and interior. What we really want to do, of course, is get our visitors outdoors, exploring these for themselves and discovering new facets to Blackpool and its surrounding towns and villages. To help you do that whenever you can, whilst (for now) giving you something new to learn about Blackpool, we have put together our little guide to some stunning things, remarkable, unusual and poignant, which you can see, when you step outside our door. If you want to walk with added purpose, get carried away with your camera whilst trying to take artistic shots, or cycle and take in sea air, this guide will provide something for you to look out for, ponder, debate and discuss with the dog, perhaps, if he or she is also staying with us! We hope it will bring you some added pleasure, at a time when the outdoors and open spaces will have to continue to be our sanctuary.

  • 1 Pop(-Up)Ular Culture at the Seaside: the British Pleasure Pier As
    Pop(-up)ular Culture at the Seaside: The British Pleasure Pier as Screening Space Introduction This chapter explores a set of enquiries situated at the intersections of cinema-as-event, community cinema and the current cultural development of ‘re-purposing’ seaside piers as community spaces. Drawing on empirical explorations of pop-up cinema on seaside piers, it seeks to historicise the relationship between cinematic viewing practices and Victorian seaside piers, as well as to investigate the role of outdoor cinema in the changing landscape of contemporary seaside resort entertainment. The case studies presented here also illustrate the potential of outdoor deck top cinema as an immersive cinema experience when the seascape and the sounds of the natural surroundings blend with the film’s mise-en-scène. In their earliest incarnation piers were practical structures, serving as landing stages for goods and holidaymakers arriving to seaside resorts via boat. While this functionality remained important throughout the nineteenth century, at least until an expanded rail network offered an alterative means of accessing coastal locations, their pleasurable aspects soon became apparent. This led them to evolve in many different directions over the years, with well-documented fluctuating fortunes (see, for example, Fischer and Walton 1987; Gray 2006; Shaw and Williams eds 1997). Today only fifty nine of the original hundred or so British seaside piers remain, and many of those are under threat. Despite this downturn piers remain important to the coastal communities in which they are situated – in terms of serving as a landmark that gives the town a sense of identity (no two piers are the same), in terms of the local economy and in terms of community heritage – aspects which, we argue, are made manifest in their use as twenty-first century screening spaces.

    Southend-on-Sea Borough Council Agenda Item No. Report of Executive Director Adults & Communities To Cabinet On 10 3rd November 2020 Report prepared by: Scott Dolling – Director of Culture & Tourism Southend Pier Improvements Relevant Scrutiny Committee(s): Place Cabinet Member: Councillor K Robinson Part 1 (Public Agenda Item) 1. Purpose of Report 1.1 This report outlines some significant improvements to the Pier visitor offer to be in place for the 2021 season. 2. Recommendations That Cabinet; 2.1 Agree the proposed improvements to the Pier Head visitor offer and that approval is sought from Council for the required capital funding; 2.2 Note the medium and longer term plans for the pier. 3. Background 3.1 Southend Pier is an international icon and a brand that resonates with area’s tourism credentials. At 1.3 miles it is the longest pleasure pier in the world. 3.2 Visitor numbers to the Pier have generally been steadily increasing since the last major fire, although enforced closure this year due to coronavirus lockdown lost the spring and early summer volumes. 3.3 Investment into the Pier in recent years has been significant, with much of the focus on ensuring the structural integrity as well as some improvements to enhance the visitor offer, but more is needed in this area. 3.4 In 2011 the new Royal Pavilion was added at the Pier Head which represented a significant enhancement to the visitor offer. Despite an initial entertainment and performance programme, years of austerity budget reductions cut the activity in this space. There are several sell-out events and activities such as Report Title Southend Pier Report Number 20/042 Ghost Train and Santa on the Pier, but more is needed to maximise usage and drive footfall on a more regular basis.
