A devastating fire has torn through Eastbourne Pier. The main roof of the pier, built in the East Sussex seaside town in the 1870s, has been completely destroyed, leaving only a metal skeleton. The pier was evacuated. No-one was injured in the fire and police said it was not thought to be suspicious. The fire service said late on Wednesday the incident was being scaled down and 30 firefighters were expected to stay at the scene overnight. Anthony Wills who has just written a book about piers and described the building in Eastbourne as "one of the finest" on the south coast because it kept its "pure Victorian quality".
