Restoration Begins

Restoration Begins
Birnbeck Island and Pier.Weston Super Mare,

Architects and engineers have now been appointed with work underway to make safe and eventually restore these grade 2 listed structures,

The RNLI will also progress designs for their new lifeboat station on Birnbeck Island which will significantly improve their operational effectiveness along this busy stretch of coast. (the abandoned lifeboat station with the red doors)

HBM and a great week,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,, Large for detail please

Nice shot, Roger ...

Very, very pleased that Finally something like real progress may happen with the restoration of Birnbeck Island, Piers and the Lifeboat Station. It has been a long time in gestation.

Just hope that *they" don't over-do the "new" development - sadly some of the modern RNLI stations don't blend in too well with their historic settings.

Nice comments, thank you,
Both the pier and island are grade two listed buildings, so hopefully that will keep a check on the more outlandish designs. As an extra safeguard Historic England are also a part of the project!
