Abandonded - Southend Pier - a photo on Flickriver

Abandonded - Southend Pier

            Another of the abandonded buildings that once served a thriving location.

Many years past Southend pier was a bustling family oriented attraction, but now it is just a derelict shell of its former self. It is now inhabited by anglers and those who visit the restaurant at the far reaches.

This series of photos is meant to portray the pier as it is today. A grey, lifeless, soulless decaying relic living in its pension days.

Southend Pier is a major landmark in Southend-on-Sea. Extending 1.34 miles (2.16 km) into the Thames Estuary, it is the longest pleasure pier in the world. Sir John Betjeman once said that ‘the Pier is Southend, Southend is the Pier’. The pier is a Grade II listed building.
