It'll last for years with your 'one bath a month' policy, mate.

Plenty of houses for rent... are wanting long term, or a week or so?

I've always found these aerial shots of the pier interesting.

Indeed, especially the last one. You can see how what is now the cafe and bar were once waiting rooms, with glass windows on all sides and the ability to walk right round, not just the front as now.

Yeah, it's a shame that those buildings have been encumbered with additions over the years, though obviously they're necessary for commercial use.  Does anyone know when they removed the turrets/lookout rooms from those buildings? If you look at old images, they're there.  If the pier ever got an overhaul and restoration (in some parallel fantasy world, where the Heritage Lottery people would hand out money for such things), I think they would be a prime candidate for restoration, back to the original design.

Waiting rooms for the steamer passengers I presume?

Dave should know.

Here's a photo showing the turrets. The landing stage looks very different too.

They were definitely missing in the 1970's, as I don't remember them when we took our pilgrimages to the Isle of Man.
