More of the iconic West Pier in Brighton has disappeared forever, but this is an attempt to clean up the area rather than erosion or arson!

Built in 1866 it stood for over a century before partially collapsing during a storm in 2002 and finally destroyed by a fire in 2003.
The Concert Hall is being cleared but luckily the Pavillion island will remain, it would have been unthinkable to lose it all together.

The work is required before the i360, a 150m tall observation tower which will look across Brighton and Hove which is hoped to be open before the 2012 Olympics.
