Went kayaking under the pier the other day, some interesting things under there. One thing I noticed was the cast iron column in the corner under the gents toilets is at quite an angle, this been struck by something or is this natural movement?
I'd noticed this from the shore some time ago, but it appears worse these days.
Also, directly underneath the arcade looks like a former walk way, although only the floor at either end survives. Was this for services, or part of the former landing stage?
I ask because I noticed on the east side of the pier head looks like there was probably a stairway, some supports still exist on the legs and the latticework is interrupted to presumably give head height:
