            Regno Unito, East Sussex, Brighton, Primavera 2012

Il Brighton Marine Palace e Pier è un molo caratterizzato da un luna park che si trova a Brighton, Inghilterra. Era noto come come il Palace Pier, ma è stata informalmente ribattezzato Brighton Pier a partire dal 2000 dai suoi proprietari, per identificarlo come il solo molo di Brighton. Il West Pier è stato il suo rivale, ma è stato chiuso nel 1975 ed è stata successivamente gravemente danneggiato da incendi e tempeste. Oggi ne rimane solo la struttura in ferro restanti parzialmente demolita nel 2010.
I lavori per la sua costruzione sono iniziati nel 1891 ed è stato inugurato nel 1899 dopo un costo record di 27.000 £. Durante la seconda guerra mondiale il molo è stata chiuso e ed alcune parti rimosse per ragioni di sicurezza. Durante una tempesta nel 1973, una chiatta da 70 tonnellate ha urtato e danneggiato il molo. Una bomba piazzata dall'IRA vicino al molo nel 1994 è stato disinnescato dagli artificieri. Il Pier ha inoltre subito un incendio il 4 febbraio 2003, ma il danno è stato limitato e la maggior parte del molo è stato in grado di riaprire il giorno successivo. 

The Brighton Marine Palace and Pier is a pleasure pier in Brighton, England. It is generally known as the Palace Pier for short, but has been informally renamed Brighton Pier since 2000 by its owners, the Noble Organisation, in an attempt to suggest that it is Brighton's only pier. The West Pier was its rival but was closed in 1975 and was subsequently severely damaged by fires and storms, with the remaining iron structure being partially demolished in 2010.
Work began on the Palace Pier in 1891 and it opened in May 1899 after costing a record £27,000 to build. During World War II the pier was closed and some decking removed as a security precaution. During a storm in 1973, a 70-ton barge moored at the pier's landing stage broke loose and began to damage the pier head, particularly the theatre. A bomb planted by the IRA near the pier in 1994 was defused by a controlled explosion. The Pier suffered a large fire on 4 February 2003 but the damage was limited and most of the pier was able to reopen the next day.
