The Grand Pier - Weston-super-Mare

.

Keep an eye on this gallery - As work progresses throughout the coming year I shall be continually adding examples from my commission to document the rebuild of Weston-super-Mare's magnificent pier.

Why not hang some history on your wall? High quality art prints of these images are available for sale. The first 75 of a limited edition of 150 signed copies are available to purchase through this website.

The copyright of these pictures is jointly owned by myself and Grand Pier. Onward publication of the images may be possible by arrangement with the copyright holders- please get in touch with me if you would like to know more.
