  • A mother holds her young son up to show him a paddle steamer on Southend pier in the early nineteen sixties. At the end of the world's longest pier (1 and a quarter miles) the steamer docked for day-trippers to traditionally sail upstream from the Thames estuary at Southend-on-Sea to Gravesend, westward towards London on the River. It is clearly something that this boy sees rarely such is his interest in the small ship full of other holidaymakers.

“It had been raining so hard, that an alligator had mistook the<br />
four-lane Interstate for the swollen Mississippi beside it and tragically met its death there. But as we drew into elegant Vicksburg, with its pillar-fronted houses on hilly streets, something astonishing happened.<br />
The sky, the result of a hot, setting sun, and the remains of a storm, was suddenly alive with an iridescent glow, so otherworldly, it looked like a space ship had landed.

  • Whilst many English seaside piers are in decline, Southwold Pier is enjoying renewed popularity. The pier sign is at the Suffolk seaside town's seafront. Southwold Pier was built in 1900, and, at 247 metres (about 810 feet) was long enough to accommodate the Belle steamers which carried trippers along the coast. In World War 2, it was weakened by having two breaches blown in it: one by the Royal Engineers to hinder a possible German invasion, and the other by a loose sea-mine. Southwold is a small town on the North Sea coast, in the Waveney district of the English county of Suffolk. It is located on the North Sea coast at the mouth of the River Blyth within the Suffolk Coast and Heaths Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty. The town is around 11 miles (18 km) south of Lowestoft and 29 miles (47 km) north-east of Ipswich.
