Seaside Dereliction,

This was the site of Royal Pier Hotel Weston-super Mare, which was destroyed by fire in 2010 and eventually demolished by the local council, sadly this prime site is still undeveloped to this day. The walkway forms a part of the walk from the derelict Birnbeck around the Marine lake and onto the re-developed Knightstone Pier and harbour. (See location map) Graffiti artists have been busy and actually brightens up a very drab area. HFF and a good weekend, but stay safe

A strong cold wind accompanies the evening tides arrival but clear skies and low evening sun give a nice clear light. Not an attractive subject but one full of hope for a full restoration,
