The Pier, Southsea by quietpurplehaze

The Pier, Southsea

We went for a litle trip to the seaside. The sun shone and the sea breeze was just perfect.
I have driven past the sign for Southsea many times but never been. Looks like a place of faded grandeur, though this pier looks new. Nice angle

It has a great prom for mobility scooter riders - stretching right to Gunwharf Quays at Portsmouth! I think Ray said the pier has had some renovations.

Lovely image of this magnificent pier in all its glory Hazel, yes its had lots of renovation work carried out over the years, amazingly a large part of it was dismantled in WW2 to prevent its use by the Germans if they invaded:)

You spotted the weekly litter picking up too Hazel!!

@pcoulson it was also burnt down when Tommy was being filmed in the 1970s Peter!

@casablanca they have spent a large fortune in revamping the seafront C, but the shopping centre for Southsea has died a death.

Before I retired last year, I used to go to Southsea occasionally to visit a customer. I always enjoyed it - much nicer than an industrial estate in a big city!

A lovely pier it is in very good condition in the sea air. Great capture.
