The West Pier is a ruined pier in Brighton, England. Designed by Eugenius Birch and opening in 1866, the West End Pier, as it was originally known, was the first pier to be Grade I listed in England but has become increasingly derelict since its closure to the public in 1975. As of 2026 only a partial metal framework remained.
