The London Link

A piece of Brighton’s famous West Pier is now for sale starting at £ 850 on eBay. A surviving column that was once part of the West Pier since 1866. This column was the support for the glass windows at the Rotunda at the very end of the pier.

How can this salesman on eBay have a piece of the dock? The answer is simple, parts of the pier had been officially put up for sale to raise the money to restore one of the six original 1866 kiosks that stood on the pier. The item for sale is therefore an authentic piece of pier. Once refurbished, the kiosk will be placed on Brighton’s seafront, not far from where the ruins of the historic pier are located.
