NOTES: Hastings Pier burnt down in October 2010.

NOTES: The original pier was built in 1904 and was destroyed by fire in 1930 and in 2008. It was rebuilt by Angus Meek Architects in 2010

NOTES: This print seems to promote an unbuilt project. The architect John Newton of Salisbury Street, Strand, London, designed both Herne Bay Station (Kent Coast Railway) and Broadstairs Station (London Chatham & Dover Railway), both opened in 1865.

NOTES: The new offices for OTH have been built on top of a concrete pier, called Kraanspoor, meaning 'crane track'. Built in 1952, it was the final stage of a shipbuilding 'assembly line' that spanned the harbour basin. The track originally had two cranes on top of it, but these were demolished to make way for the new development, a long steel and glass box that appears to float above the concrete pier.
