Morgan isn't mentioned...so, yes....I agree!

[Sqad]

Wigan also isn't mentioned.............but yes.

cannot make a decision i'm afraid -- i'm all at sea at the moment

[agchristie]

Thats a solid platform to start with..

I'm surprised they found a picture of Burnham pier with water around it, there isn't usually, even when the tide is in!

[Frank97]

Having grown up in Burnham, I certainly wouldn't put it's pier in the top ten!

[cupid04]

Southend...but then I'm biased.

[Mags22]

Wee Southwold pier in Suffolk is the best!

[weecalf]

pier pressure is not mentioned either

Thank you, Mags, for including our wonderful Southwold Pier
http://www.southwoldpier.co.uk/
(which is also the newest pier in the country). It's an absolute delight.

If some bar-steward hadn't set light to it, I would have hoped that by now we'd have been able to include the restored West Pier at Brighton in the list ('cos a lot of people's money, including some of mine, was ploughed into the restoration fund) but, alas, it is no more.

My money too, chris :-(

Smeatons Pier, St Ives - the site of the take-out of flying rats.......

I wonder if Deal Pier was considered, it's an interesting one http://www.dealpier.com/

I see the central pier Blackpool is on the list, disappointed that the South pier isn't though. Had some good times under there.
