South Parade Pier was built in 1879. It was the centrepiece of Southsea’s popular seaside attractions at the resorts victorian-era peak. It still stands today, despite damage from several fires over the years, the most infamous being the blaze started during filming of Ken Russell’s film, Tommy. Today, its crumbling foundations, empty amusement arcade, and desolate fairground can give it the feel of a ghost town at times.
