Jolly Fisherman, The Pier, Southend on Sea, Essex
This pier, the longest in the world, was built 1829-30 and increased in 1846 to 1 ¼ miles (2km). It has its own electric railway, several amusement arcades and a coastguard station. The Jolly Fisherman Pub was popular in summer, but less so in November when it was photographed.
