[quote]A huge fire is ripping through Eastbourne Pier.
It is believed the blaze broke out behind some wood panelling in the arcade building.
Sian Ellis, a hotel manager in the town, said the pier was an "absolute red, molten, mess of flame and smoke".
"We've just had another explosion there and it's very, very frightening and hugely saddening for the whole of the town," she said. About 60 firefighters are tackling the blaze.[/quote]

3rd pier to go up in flames on this bit of the South coast in 11 years :v:
That explains the smoke I can see from my flat.
Piers are always bursting into flames down here. It's more predictable than the trains.
Be interesting to see if they restore it or leave it to rot like what happened West Pier.

West Pier is some freaky shit. I live right near Brighton, and that place has always freaked me the fuck out. Along with that really.. weird and creepy theme park that's way up the coast near the Matalan. They used to have this rusted to fuck caterpillar ride and it always spooked me guts off.
I used to go to that pier all the time when I was younger as family used to live near it.

I always liked Eastbourne pier, been on there a few times and played in the arcades.
Sad to see it go.
