|  The amusement arcade that stood here burnt down in 2014 and started life as a dance hall. It was built in 1925 and as such is a good marker for dating shots of the seafront. |   Mikeo1938 | Monday 6th of October 2014 02:42:19 PM |

| Piers were often originally built so that steamers bringing Victorian tourists could tie up to unload their passengers. They developed into places for walking and entertainment.
