WEST PIER c 1944-5

A view of the Pier which is seldom seen, with the significant gap in the middle. As is well known, this gap was formed in the summer of 1940 when invasion by the Germans seemed imminent. A similar cut was made in the Palace Pier. The date of the photograph is not known. A winter scene, which could have been 1944/5 or 1945/6.
