Portobello Pier
Portobello Pier is, of course, long gone. Demolished over one hundred years ago in fact. Nothing now remains of the structure, but just for fun I took a few pics (and had my ice cream) from roughly the spot where it would have stood. 1900s map showing the position of the pier, sitting in line with Regent Street. Portobello pier would have been here - (Yes, I know this is just some sky, sea and sand now). Looking back from the beach to where the pier would have begun. The old buildings here are the ones on Straiton Place in the old OS map above. From an information board on the promenade. A pic of Portobello Pier taken around 1900
