The last completely new pier, in Deal, Kent, was concrete, and Bournemouth pier was also rebuilt in the 1950s, in concrete.
I lived in New Brighton in the early 1970s, when the ferry was still in operation, but it was evident even then that Wirral Council wanted NB to be residential, and not a holiday resort.
Judging by what buildings are like now, it may be galvanized steel with strange glass things sticking out in painful places!



Last I heard, the supermarket was going to be a Morrisons; Wallasey does now have a Tesco Metro, down in Seacombe (where the Dale Pub used to be on Poulton Road)

Just shows how times change...so now they want NB to be a nice lil earner ay! Does that mean New Ferry might get its pool back???

Speaking of which, has anyone noticed all the work thats going on in New Ferry atm?? Its positively starting to go up! (apologies from straying admins!)

Your all welcome btw! It was the relevent piece, Soundlad has got some very good vids up there atm!
