Café Wall, Quay Arts, Tue 8 Jul – Mon 28 Jul.

For the last three years, British Photographer Simon Roberts has been travelling across the British coastline documenting its last remaining pleasure piers, culminating in a fascinating photographic record of these monuments of Victorian engineering and eccentricity.

This is part of a simultaneous exhibition where several venues across the UK are showing work from the Pierdom series at the same time, from Jul – Sept 2014. It coincides with the 200th anniversary of the construction of Ryde Pier, which was the first of the British Piers.
