	  Description
	  The West Pier is a true Brighton icon. In it’s heyday it was alive with Victorian decadence, buzzing with hoardes who used Brighton as their opulent retreat. 
It is ironic that this is how I will remember it, falling down, even the birds flying away. It is sad, but still so beautiful. 
The original stands at Blanch House, a renowned boutique hotel, a favourite of Gwyneth Paltrow, Noel Gallagher and Cate Blanchette.
