Thank you @dswigle. 😁

I wouldn't mind having a shop there.

Yep. I could imagine you shopping there. There are lots of little shopping areas in Brighton and Hove that you would love.

They charged to see the pier? Do tell!

The West Pier was a ruin for a long time but, before the arson attacks, the ballroom was still standing of some of the little Victorian Booths. So they used to do guided tours of those bits and tell you about the history.

Had I known the pier was gong to be destroyed I would probably have gone on the tour but, at the time, £15 was a bit outside my budget for such a thing.
