A steaming triumph or a decaying wreck?

Thank you for this. Looking forward to seeing it fully restored

Glad you enjoyed the video, I am also looking forward to seeing a day where the Pier is restored to some kind of functional order.

Well put together, the pier is exceptional and a major landmark for Weston-super-Mare.

Hi Neil, thank you, glad you enjoyed the video. I totally agree, I certainly count Birnbeck as one of the special places in Weston that has so many stories and has played a big part in so many people lives over the decades.

Very interesting - I was always fascinated by the pier when my son was staying in WSM. Thanks :)

Glad you enjoyed it

Lovely video. Thanks for sharing 😉. Soon it's back in the RNLI hands the better x

[@droningonsomerset]

Thank you, glad you like it. It could definitely be safer in their hands

Wow fascinating history 🇬🇧💜

[@droningonsomerset]

Glad you enjoyed it, there is a lot more history to this pier. The Friends of the Old Pier Society linked in the description do have a book that is for sale on the life of Birnbeck and there is a timeline of history and events you can get North Somerset Councils website www.n-somerset.gov.uk/sites/default/files/2020-09/Appendix%20H%20Birnbeck%20Pier%20Timeline.pdf
