Eastbourne Pier

The pier

That has witnessed

Over the years

So many amazing sights

The sea front barricades

And the bombs

Falling relentlessly on the town
In 1941

The three pound two ounce plaice

That Ian caught

On that particularly low tide

In 1964

The grand wedding

Of Steph and Joe

The sea scattering sunshine

Like a diamond

In 2012
