Danger Zone! (PiP!)

Danger Zone! (PiP!)
The closed off entrance to Birnbeck Pier captured in early evening light at Weston super Mare. You can just see the end of the dilapidated Birnbeck Pier on the far left behind the fence, and the Pip shows it in full. Hopefully when the pier is finally renovated this will be a more pleasant place to sit and enjoy the sea air.

I have added Gwen Stefani's Danger Zone as a link

and Richard Marx with 'Hazard'

Thank you Jaap. I liked the fact they had added a floral disply beside the bench, despite the state of the old building. Hopefully it will be nicer sitting there when the renovations have been done

Thank you very much Wilhelm. I would very much like to see it restored to how it was in it's heyday. A sadly lost opportunity, but there is talk of restoring it, so maybe one day I will see it looking wonderful again.

HBM and have a lovely new week

Two lovely pictures Carol. I love the evening light in your first shot. I will believe it when I see it with the restoration! Should have been done years ago. It would be such an asset to Weston.
I hope you have a good new week and Bank Holiday weekend.

Ecobird club has replied to Andrea Ertl club
Thank you vey much Andrea. Really appreciated. The pier is in a terrible state of repair, hence the warnings and locks to keep peopl out. I would love to see it renovated and in use again as I remember it as a child.

Ecobird club has replied to Herb Riddle club
Thank you very much Herb. I really hope so. Nice to see they have a bench and flower pot in place already, although that seems a tad optimistic!! It is a bit like putting up a housing estate before you put in the facilities!!

Thank you for the reminder, - I do love the sepia effect

Ecobird club has replied to Xata club
:-)) Thank you Isabel. But with the pier falling apart you would be likely to break your neck before you reached the sea!!! Even the lifeboat station that was situated here had to move out as it was far too dangerous. They are firmly behind the promised renovations though as they would like to see it rehoused here again.

HBM and have a good week

Thank you very much Guni. I am pleased you like the pier. There have been plans to restore it for many years but they have come to nothing and it is now in a very sorry state. I hope the current plans move forward. I would dearly love to see a it was in my youth.

This is going to cost an awful lot of money to repair. I gather the council has plans, but I don't think the work has started, Carol. Colourful danger. ;-)
2 years ago.
Ecobird club has replied to Amelia club
Thank you Amelia. You are right and I have wondered on occasions if renovation is even possible as it seems to get worse with each passing year. I hope they do it though as it is part of the heritage of the town.

Take care and have a good day

Thank you very much George. To see it in it's original state agains would be wonderful. Over the years there have been so many plans but none have come to fruition, so I won't hold my breath!
