HERNE BAY PIER BEFORE IT WAS LOST
THINK OF THE MONEY JUST THROUGH FISHING IS BEING LOST YEAR IN YEAR OUT!!!!
DEAL PIER ATTRACTED 1 MILLION PEOPLE IN 2009, IF HERNE BAY PIER ATTRACTED THE SAME ,WHICH IT WOULD IT COULD RAISE IF RESTORED, AT LEAST £500,000 PER ANNUM AND THAT'S WITHOUT BUSINESSES AND LEISURE ATTRACTIONS ON THERE TO ADD TO THE MIX OF SEA ANGLING AND BUSINESS AND LEISURE ATTRACTIONS. DEAL PIER ALSO ATRACTS AT LEAST 25,000 SEA ANGLERS PER ANNUM WHICH IN TURN RAISES HUNDREDS OF THOUSANDS OF POUNDS HOWEVER AT PRESENT HERN ABY PIER RAISES ABSOLUTELY NOTHING!!!!
Crystal Clear Evidence what a Proper Working Pier can achieve this is Swanage Pier just after a Paddle steamer had berthed just think what this would do to the Business economy of HERNE BAY compared to now the PROOF IS THERE FOR EVERYONE TO SEE!!!!!
Just to remind People of the the Cold Winter of 1963 when Ice engulfed the Pier Could this happen again Who Knows, but one thing is for sure the Pier withstood it.
Scroll down the page to see another Picture of Pier in the harsh winter of 1963.

Deal Pier voted Pier of the year 2008...
Well done to Dover District Council and all concerned that work at Deal pier. It is a great achievement to hold Pier of the year and an example to all other Coastal Councils throughout the British Isles. As a member of the Herne Bay Pier Trust and on behalf of the Trust well done to all...
PLANKS FOR THE MEMORIES...
Clevedon pier trust celebrated it's 9,000 brass plate last week. They are all over the pier decking, the benches, everywhere and they range from £20 TO £175 each with the messages "in loving memory" of the past, to the present , even TV's Country File had one placed on the pier! Well done to them all. And the pier is very popular with visitors from afar.
Another success story is Sefton Council and Southport pier. Joint-handed in joint support of a pier trust, it gained assistance from National and EU sources. It is now a very popular pier and currently the second longest pier.
Well done to both North Somerset and Sefton Councils for the wonderful job you have done to your local and overseas tourism and local businesses!

This one was caught off Deal Pier in the summer of 2009 and then returned to the Sea non the worse to be caught another time perhaps... This is from the Shark Family and a great fighter to it is a Smooth Hound...
