What is recorded here
West Pier was constructed in 1866 and served as a prominent Victorian seaside attraction in Brighton, featuring theatres, amusement rides, and entertainment venues. It is historically significant for its architectural design and as a symbol of 19th-century leisure culture, though much of it was destroyed by fires in the 20th century.
