Eastbourne Pier, Sussex, Southern England lit by sunset The first pile for Eastbourne Pier was driven into the seabed on 18th April 1866. Officially opened by Lord Edward Cavendish on 13th June 1870, Eastbourne pier was not actually completed for a further two years. Designed by Eugenius Birch, the piles that supported the superstructure sat upon specially made cups, similar to those used on furniture to protect carpets from deep furrowing, that rested on the rock bed. This ingenious arrangement allowed the pier structure to ‘move’ in bad weather. Using two six-pound cannons, to test whether the superstructure could withstand such a force, proved almost insignificant compared with the adverse weather conditions experienced on this stretch of coastline over the last 128 years. The relatively unscathed Eastbourne Pier is testimony in itself to the substantial core of the construction

A 3 shot HDR processed in Photomatix Pro BEACHY HEAD – SUICIDE SPOT (Over 500 Suicides known) / / These cliffs are the site of 20 suicides a year / If you are experiencing suicidal feelings, click here for helpline numbers / Click here for advice / Beachy Head near Eastbourne is a dramatic and beautiful headline extending 535 feet above sea level. But this area of natural beauty has a darker side. Beachy Head is a well known location for suicide attempts. For most of visitors every year, Beachy Head is a place to escape, relax and take in the dramatic scenery. But its history reveals a darker side. Since the 1600s it’s been a popular location for suicide attempts. John Surtees was a pathologist for Eastbourne NHS for 30 years. John dealt with many of the suicide cases and estimates that around 20 people each year choose to commit suicide at Beachy Head. It’s good to talk / Peter Bridgewater is the Director of the Eastbourne Samaritans, the nearest Samaritan office to Beachy Head. Many people who contemplate suicide feel unheard so it is essential that they are listened to, rather than talked to. In 1976 a telephone box was installed near the cliff top. The box displays the contact details for the local Samaritans and the national helpline. Peter has received calls from the cliff edge. Although the calls are often desperate, it is possible to help the potential suicide victim by providing a valuable emotional lifeline. Peter insists that the important thing for those contemplating suicide is to talk and allow time to reflect and consider all their options.

Beachy Head Now forms part of the newly designated National Park, The South Downs, and is a chalk headland on the south coast of England, close to the town of Eastbourne in the county of East Sussex, immediately east of the Seven Sisters. The cliff there is the highest chalk sea cliff in Britain, rising to 162 m (530 ft) above sea level. The peak allows views of the south east coast from Dungeness to the east, to Selsey Bill in the west. Many people come here to commit suicide, but for the life of me I can’t understand why. For when I am confronted with such sheer beauty, the last thing on earth that I’d be thinking about it leaving this beauty behind. On this day I saw a strange car, it had Chaplain written in large letters on the sides and back. Hopefully, the duty Chaplain will be able to assist any who’re contemplating such an act. Camera Nikon D700 with 24-120mm Lense.
