The story of Weston-super-Mare’s Grand Pier will start unfolding along the seafront hoardings surrounding the Pier’s building site from next Thursday (12th November). The 180 square meters of hoardings are currently painted white but soon will show a complete time-line of the Pier, following its history from the original opening in 1904 to the present day.
Pier Owner Kerry Michael said: “These barren hoardings will soon be brought to life. The design is packed with information, facts and figures, photographs, history and fun. It will make the walk along that part of the seafront more interesting as there will be something for everyone to enjoy. A special children’s area has been created and “peep holes” will be cut into the design so everyone can see what is going on. We wanted the design up in time for the Carnival.”
The designs have been produced by the Grand Pier using its own archive material and items sent in from the public. Some reproductions, such as a front page of the Weston & Somerset Mercury showing pictures of the 2008 fire will also appear. The designs will be digitally printed on pvc banner material and produced in 10 ft lengths.
this will be an amazing site and hopefully bring more people back to weston and for people to take more of an interest in whats happening
