Eastbourne Pier

Italy

Eastbourne Pier

Originally built in 1870 with a theatre, camera obscura, and bar. Paddle steamers used to sail from here to Boulogne in France in the early 20th century, but stopped in World War Two, when anti-aircraft guns were placed on it. The arcade was destroyed by a fire on the pier in 2014, and has since bee

n renovated to make the pier safe. Currently, there are cafes, a restaurant, some shops, a fishing stage, a nightclub (see Drink), a fish and chip shop and great views on the pier.
