The Brighton West Pier is a popular photo opportunity, a special attraction in Brighton and a wistful reminder of the good old days. From 1866 onwards, one of the proudest pier in all of southern England stood here with a theater and concert hall. After several devastating fires and major sea storms, unfortunately only the skeleton of the West Pier can be seen today; the sight of the former West Pier almost hurts a little. The pier was closed in 1975 and recurring plans to rebuild it have so far remained plans.

The West Pier is a ruined pier in Brighton, England. It was designed by Eugenius Birch and opened in 1866. It was the first Grade II listed pier in England and Wales, but it has become increasingly derelict since it closed to the public in 1975.
