Description
Great is the force of memory, enormously great, my God, a chamber vast and infinite.
~ Augustine [fr. Confessions]
* ----------------------- *
Located on the south coast of England, this 140 year-old iconic landmark in Eastbourne is also a popular seaside destination.
This long Victorian pier (total length 1,000 ft ; 300 m) often filled in for the Brighton pier in cinema productions, such as Agatha Christie's Poirot episode "Jewel Robbery at the Grand Metropolitan" and the film Brighton Rock.
This is a favorite place of mine, often visited en route to Beachy Head. Since this image was taken, a huge fire occurred and much of its dome was destroyed (we were in Switzerland when we heard about this; it shocked us as we had just seen it before we left England). The rebuild is still going on.
