The Promenade Pier is mentioned every so often on the forum and the one time existence of same is always greeted with great surprise. Then it gets forgotten and the next time it is mentioned it again comes as a complete surprise to various illustrious forumites. Bet you that the next time it is mentioned, it will get the same reaction!
This is my favourite photo of the pier as it shows the WW1 battlecruiser HMS Inflexible in the background awaiting scrapping in the Camber. It is totally mystifying to me that we did not preserve a single battleship or battlecruiser of the sixty odd constructed from the Dreadnought to the Vanguard - a huge, fundamental and irretrievable gap in our naval heritage.
