Deal Pier (2)
Functional concrete stanchions don't have the same appeal as the rusty Victorian structures but at least Deal still has a pier and recent investment in it has just replaced, brand new, a cafeteria at the end. Had the pier not been partially destroyed in World War 2 it is highly likely that the pre-war Deal pier would have gone the same way as the other East Kent piers at Margate and Herne Bay and not survived the decline in holiday traffic. Fortunately, it was reconstructed in this austere style in the decade after the 2nd World War and now faces the future with confidence (and popularity). It was the only new UK pier to be built after the Second World War.
