Eastbourne Pier. The 300m long Victorian pier was officially opened in 1870, however work did not finish until 1872. The Concert Hall and Pavilion were added in 1888. Above the concert hall is one of the earliest Victorian camera obscuras. The pier was reclassified to Grade II* listed in May 2009. In 2009 the pier was up for sale for a guide price of £5million. The fire of 30th July 2014 saw the arcade section of the pier destroyed.
