EDITORS COMMENTS
September 1933: A Terrifying Spectacle - Worthing Pier Fire This evocative photograph captures the terrifying spectacle of Worthing Pier Pavilion engulfed in flames and smoke during the devastating fire that broke out on the evening of September 12, 1933. The pier, a popular seaside destination and landmark of Worthing, West Sussex, England, was completely destroyed in the blaze. The flames and smoke from the fire could be seen for miles, drawing large crowds of onlookers who gathered to witness the tragic event. The 1930s photograph shows a sea of people, some with expressions of awe, others with concern, as they watch the inferno unfold before their eyes. The pier's once grand pavilion, a symbol of the town's pride and joy, now reduced to ashes. The cause of the fire remains unclear, but it is believed to have started in the kitchen of the pier's tea rooms. The blaze quickly spread, fueled by the wooden structure of the pier. Despite the best efforts of the fire brigade, the pier was unable to be saved. The Worthing Pier Fire was a significant event in the town's history, leaving a lasting impact on the community. The loss of the pier was a great disappointment to the people of Worthing, but it also brought them together in the face of adversity. The photograph serves as a poignant reminder of the power and unpredictability of fire and the resilience of the human spirit in the face of tragedy.
