Weston's Grand Pier poised to reopen
Weston-super-Mare's historic Grand Pier is to reopen to the public tomorrow (23 October) - more than two years after it was damaged by fire.
Bristol-based architect Angus Meek is behind the design of the new-look attraction, which has undergone a £35m overhaul led by John Sisk and Son. The 106-year-old Grand Pier had been been due to reopen in the summer, but pier owner Kerry Michael now confirmed that it will be ready in time for the half-term holidays.
A number of rides supplied by Stroud-based Gravitron and a 90m (295.3ft) observation tower looking over the Severn Estuary are among the pier's new attractions.
