Can you help with book about piers?
An author is appealing for help to produce a book about Britain's piers.
Anthony Poulton-Smith, of Tamworth, Staffordshire, says rather than concentrate on the structures, his book will feature 'those who frequented these very British structures'.
He explained: "I want to hear about those who ran the kiosks, performed maintenance tasks, operated turnstiles, worked the attractions, performed themselves, or helped to allow the many vessels which used the pier as a docking place."
If you or your friends and families have any memories and/or photographs of the local piers you would be willing to share, please email [email protected] or call 07562 653565.
