The car parking charges on the Promenade between the pier and the skip don't start until the 12th February 2018 so I parked on the eastern side of the pier and took some photos.
I could hear some banging going on in the large building but couldn't see what was happening but work seems to be starting on removing what's left of the pier.
The demolition will make some of the residents homeless so they could be heading your way ME
