B C Suter's unique film captures the start of Brighton's West Pier's decline and decay. Panning across the structure we already see warning signs though a solitary figure can be seen walking on the dilapidated pier. The camera captures how the pier is cut off from the promenade while cranes and skips hint that the demolition process has already begun. We also see a Trade Union march towards the Brighton Conference Centre as well as a speech being given to an assembled crowd.
