Eastbourne
Another Pier that I know well. I used to live and work in Eastbourne.
This apparently has a soldier's ghost on it. He is seen smoking
and leaning against the pier railings, and is reported to acknowledge
late night visitors, as there is a nightclub on the pier
(At least there was at the time of the information, which i've sourced.)
Hastings
The story connected with this pier, which, as i said, was coincidentally
another fire casualty, was that it has a time slip connected with it,
a little like the Versaille incident.
Apparently, during a recent refurbishment, workers reported
that one evening, coming in to work, they unexpectedly found
one of the shop units occupied. It was a fully fitted old- fashioned tea room.
Edwardian, they thought.
The following day when they came in, they said, the tea room
had vanished.
Apparently this time-slip tea-room had been seen before
and was one which dated from about 1900.
Last time i visited the pier was before the recent fire,

And there was a tea shop there, albeit not an Edwardian one.
