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.

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. |
