The West Pier, was designed by Eugenius Birch, opened in 1866. 

It was the first pier to be granted a listed status (Grade I) 1982, however in 1975 it was closure to the public in 1975. 

The West Pier was extended in 1893, and a concert hall was added in 1916. The pier reached its peak attendance at this time, with 2 million visitors between 1918 and 1919. Its popularity began to decline after World War II, and concerts were replaced by a funfair and tearoom. A local company took over ownership of the pier in 1965, but could not meet the increasing costs of maintenance and filed for bankruptcy.

The pier closed to the public in 1975 and fell into disrepair and gradually collapsed. Major sections fell into the sea during storms in late 2002, and two separate fires, in March and May 2003 destroyed most of the remaining structure,

The West Pier Trust owns the remains and has proposed various renovation plans. 

The auction aims to generate as much interest and cash as possible.

The cost of producing the item (which will always be a one of the kind)  is not recovered from the sale and 100% of the money raised is available for the charity of choice, usually named by the purchaser. 

There is however a minimum bid, which is the price cited as a starting point, so come on, place your bid.
