If you walk along Southend-on-Sea’s High Street, towards the sea, your eye will be drawn in a straight line towards the longest pleasure Pier in the world.
Standing for over a century it extends 2.158 kilometres (1.341 miles) into the Thames Estuary, and is a well loved and recognised symbol of Southend and the pleasures of the English seaside.
With truly stunning 360 degree views all year round, Southend Pier is the perfect place to go for a taste of the invigorating fresh air, and experience the freedom of the sea or to simply spend the day fishing at Southend pier. At the Pier Head you can visit the active RNLI station and gift shop, relax and take in the fantastic views from the superb sun-deck or stop by The Royal Pavilion, which dominates much of the Pier Head and provides the perfect place for a drink and a snack from “Salt” the pier head cafe.
Throughout the year Southend Pier plays host to a number of fantastic events, from live music and puppetry, to spooktacular Halloween fun and even a visit from Santa, as well as visiting Tall Ships, which offer unique trips and a taste of the nautical life.

The Royal Pavilion, Southend-on-Sea.
Completed in 2012, this was White`s first built project in the UK. Working with local architects Sprunt and engineers Price & Myers, our competition-winning design, `Sculpted by Wind and Wave`, was a hit with the judges and the public with its sweeping, geometric form and glazed facades framing the coastal view.
Not only elegant to look at, the building`s engineering was also sophisticated; the pavilion`s self-supporting steel frame was constructed off site and craned in from a barge due to the sensitivity of the location, 2.2km offshore at the end of a listed Victorian pier.
The project won a RIBA East Regional Award and a Surface Design Award in 2013.

So much more to do, but so much more done. There are a LOT of colours in the water by the pier at sunset...

On Thursday we took an impromptu trip out to Southend #LuminoCity which was an incredible free festival of lights spreading down the highstreet and onto the seafront. Of course I had to bring my own lights too with my Starry Skye stick!
It`s really sad the event only had such a short run which was cut even shorter by storm Eunice but it is on for a final night tonight so if you`re local I definitely recommend a visit.
Being such a short event meant it was very busy and even gone 9pm we still had to avoid some installations such as Submergence as there were just too many people and I reccomend taking a map because we managed to miss 2 installations because we didn`t realise they were there.
Les Lumineoles (the flying birds which I think look more like whales) were definitely my favourite along with the Together hands and the Scribble Trees. The House of Cards on the pier was not my favourite light wise but was amazing to see the different artwork on the individual cards although getting onto the pier as a wheelchair user was a bumpy ride so be prepared for that if you ever go! Apart from that it was a super accessible event with the lifts being left open late. Some of the installations included flashing lights, mainly house of cards.
Which is your favourite installation from the photos? Have you seen something like this before or is it something you`d like to see in your city? Let me know in the comments.

In 1996, a rear admiral in the U.S. Navy, Irve Le Moyne, was undergoing radiation therapy for head and neck cancer and told his doctor that he planned to follow a Navy tradition of ringing a bell to signify “when the job was done.” He brought a brass bell to his last treatment, rang it several times and left it as a donation.
This tradition, that started in the US, 26 years ago, is still popular in the UK.
The idea is that, on your final day of treatment, you ring a bell to mark the occasion: sometimes, other patients and staff are there to watch you do it and you’re clapped and cheered. It’s a moment to stop everything and acknowledge that you’ve been through something incredibly scary and pretty hellish but that now you’re at a turning point.
Soldiering through nausea, exhaustion, menopause, nerve damage, I have juggled chemo and my job for 20 weeks before finally taking leave after my operation, and only because the doctors said so.
While going through treatment, I found out about this tradition and thought ‘Yeah, that’s going to be me. I’m almost there,’ but never got to do it in the oncology ward.
Don`t know if my hospital didn`t have a bell or if they are following more recent studies that say `Patients who celebrate the end of cancer treatment by ringing a bell report more stressful memories of treatment than those who finish silently.`
However, yesterday, after a strenuous walk on the world`s longest pier, I found this old bell and I rang it. Not in a hospital, but in the open air, right in the middle of Thames Estuary, standing on my own two blistered feet, gazing at the immensity of the North Sea.
It couldn`t have been more perfect.
