Hastings pier still standing to this day after severe storm damage and arson . Built in 1872 , it suffered severe storm damage , bomb damage from Ww2 then in 2010 it was 95% destroyed by fire . It was a musical iconic venue for the likes of the Rolling Stones . The Kinks , The Who , Jimmy Hendrix , Pink Floyd , Prodigy etc … I’ve stood in front of the pier of an evening and to say it’s ‘eerie ‘ is an understatement !
