Yes I was in Hastings; and no, the pier wasn&#39;t around at the time of the Norman conquest. It dates back to the mid-Victorian period (c1872), and its destruction (by fire) is relatively recent (2010). There are plans to re-build it, though having waited nearly 40 years to see the West Pier at Brighton rebuilt (it is now a bare tangle of rusted steel) I don&#39;t expect a phoenix-like resurrection any time soon. <br \/><span class='imgcenter'><img alt='' src='https:\/\/www.permuted.org.uk\/photography\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/09\/hastings_pier_1409110031.jpg' \/><\/span> <\/p>\n<p><span class='imgcenter'><img alt='' src='https:\/\/www.permuted.org.uk\/photography\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/09\/hastings_pier_1409110035.jpg' \/><\/span> <\/p>\n<p>One shot of a gull, also from today.<br \/><span class='imgcenter'><img alt='' src='https:\/\/www.permuted.org.uk\/photography\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/09\/gull_1409110093.jpg' \/><\/span> <br \/><span class=\"aligncenter\"><a href=\"http:\/\/natureblognetwork.com\/\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/natureblognetwork.com\/button.php?u=Words\" width=\"0\" height=\"0\" alt=\"Nature Blog Network\" border=\"0\" \/><\/a><\/span><br \/><a title=\"site stats\" href=\"http:\/\/statcounter.com\/free-web-stats\/\" target=\"_blank\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/c.statcounter.com\/7187219\/0\/2c644058\/1\/\" alt=\"site stats\" style=\"border:none;\" \/><\/a><br \/><i>Camera note: robin taken with the Canon 7D EF and 400mm f\/5.6L USM lens.
