Check out hand-selected hotels in Brighton www.hotels.tv In its original form in 1823 Brighton Pier was an Old Chain Pier which was primarily used as a landing stage for passenger ships that sailed from Dieppe in France. Realising its commercial value the owners began charging an entry fee of 2d and introduced kiosks selling souvenirs and confectionary as well as entertainment stalls with fortune tellers and silhouettists. The chain pier was struck by many storms in a ten year period between 1824 and 1834 causing irreparable damage and eventually the pier was bought out in 1889 by the Marine Palace & Pier Company. In December that year the pier was destroyed in a mighty storm and so needed to be built again in its entirety. The next decade saw intense building work with many setbacks including the Old Chain Pier being washed away in a raging storm causing serious damage to the Palace Pier construction work. Brighton Palace Pier was finally opened in a grand ceremony on the 20th May 1899 costing an unprecedented £27000 to build.
