Summary

Description
English: Southend Pier 1965 Pictured from Pier Hill in 1965 is a view of the World's longest pleasure pier at Southend-on-Sea, Essex. This famous landmark has suffered a number of serious fires over the years, and the bowling alley (middle of picture) is just one of the victims.

The pier head was virtually destroyed in 1976, and more recently the train station went up in flames. It has also suffered from the odd ship trying to go through it, rather than take the more accepted route - i.e passing it. The lifeboat station was destroyed in one such event

However, despite a number of redevelopment plans being rejected, it soldiers on - much loved by locals and trippers alike.
