Hastings Pier
Hastings Pier
Hastings
is a wonderful little holiday resort on the south coast
of England. And, when its pier burned down
in 2010 it was a disaster. The pier, which was built
in 1870, had been a wonderful attraction for holiday
makers from London. The pier had had a theatre, a funfair,
and a wonderful
promenade out to sea.
But
luckily, the
citizens of Hastings have rebuilt
and renovated their pier. And, it will reopen in June of this year.
And, once again, it will be a wonderful place to visit
and admire! Do you like to paddle in the
sea?
