Birnbeck Pier Restoration WSM

[@JayGetsAbout]

I love a good pier - one of the ingredients for a great seaside town.

Thanks Jay, yes there is a long way to go with this one but it's happening and hopefully it will be fully restored to its former Glory👍👍👍

The Birnbeck Pier Restoration is fascinating, and your interview with Alan really shed light on the project's future. It’s wonderful to see this beloved pier getting the attention it deserves. Happy to be a new subscriber!

AHH thank you so much for the Sub and very pleased you enjoyed! yes it had been so neglected all those years and now finally work has begun and just in the nick of time i would think. thank you so much for commenting. best wishes Darren👍👍👍

Wow, I sure hope they are successful in that restoration...that pier is quite amazing!!

[@Somersetmanwalking]

They do have a long way to go but hopefully in 3 or 4 years i will be able to take a video on the pier when its finished. i am going to try and do a Vlog about the project every 6 months or so. Thanks so much for your comments Best wishes Darren👍👍👍

That was a really great video Darren - and good to see work finally happening there. Good to know all the asbestos has now been removed so other work can commence. Loved the interview with Alan too - very informative. Cheers, Paul

[@Somersetmanwalking]

Ahh Paul, thanks so much for taking the time to watch, I am glad you enjoyed the video, yes it was a bit of a bonus to interview Alan, I got a bit lucky with that one to be honest. Take care and best wishes Darren👍👍👍

Nice one Darren. Really enjoyed the interview too. I really hope it all goes as smoothly as possible!

[@Somersetmanwalking]

Thank you Nicola, yes it was a stroke of luck that Alan was there and is involved, i had no idea! i popped in and he willingly let me interview him which was a nice addition to the Video. i am hoping to pop down every six months or so to do update videos on the project so i can update viewers on what is happening. thanks so much for watching! best wishes Darren.👍👍👍

[@NicolaExplores]

@ sounds like a good idea 👍 I am planning on going at some point too as enjoy visiting Weston as you know 😊

[@louisesouthgate5231]

Thanks Darren, good to see Weston... havent been there for about 40 years!! I used to go there with my Grandparents... the tide was always out! Ha. Do they still have the donkeys? Glad they're fixing the pier. Will be nice if the Waverley can visit again . Will have to put Weston on my list of places to visit when I'm next in the area. ❤ x

[@Somersetmanwalking]

@louisesouthgate5231 hi Louise, thank you so much for your comment, yes the Donkey's are still there in the summer months all be it a little controversial and it is amazing that the old pier will live again hopefully and maybe we will see a return of the paddle steamers back at the pier in the future. One thing I found interesting is that the land buildings will open first as a cafe ect so maybe people can have a coffee whilst watching the pier take place 🙏👍👍👍

The Waverley visited Knightstone Island last year

@@katehepworth7958 Hi Kate, just thinking that when i filmed this there are some gates at the back of knightstone between the white railings, is this where it docks? best wishes Darren
