Hastings Pier Fire 5am till 7am 

Has any pier not had a fire? Hastings, Eastbourne, Weston-super-Mare - the list goes on. Maybe it's the high winds you get in coastal areas.

thats a very sad film, the last view looking down the old pier is very sad indeed. good times been had there

i saw the pier on fire cause my family wanted to go on the pier but it was on fire

What person do such horrible things? i was last february in hastings and it´s terrible to see such a disaster. it was such a beautiful building. and now it is almost like brighton´s old pier

Well done Hastings pier for winning the Riba award.

The sign is ironic

A great piece of architecture built by a great architect, ruined by a fire and now 'restored' by a rich idiot who just demolished the old building and reopened it

i think they should remake it:0, now that the fire has destroyed memories and emotions......, they should restore it, and reopen the wonder of Hastings, alot of History has gone, m so upset, i live in bexhill at the moment but ive always adored the history of Hastings and now the pier is almost gone it annoys me, and upsets me

@signscultures i totally agree. i dont think 2 people could have done this by themselves

I live near Hastings... So sad :(

Hopefully the funding for a new pier might come through. I think they did us a favour by burning this one down.

its a great shame that place burnt down it was realy nice before oh well
