Derelicte!
Birnbeck Pier
by Clive Griffiths

Another from a wild and stormy day on the Somerset coast, and my first ever visit to Weston Super Mare!
The remains of Birnbeck Pier catch a brief glimpse of the sun as a right royal hailstorm approaches from across the Bristol Channel. It's the only pier on the country that links the mainland to an island don't you know - it's a shame it is falling to bits.

A dull but stormy day with rain on the way. This area has the second highest rise and fall of tide in the world. You can see the power of the current...
