The Grand Pier at Weston-Super-Mare was opened in 1904, as this contemporary postcard (above) shows.
It had a successful history despite being damaged by fire in 1930, but was then utterly destroyed in a conflagration in 2008.
This Wikipedia link tells of the pier's history, and shows a dramatic picture of it ablaze.

It has since been rebuilt at great cost, and is now a great addition to the town.
