I can remember Margate Pier being badly damaged in a storm, possibly around the late 1970's? Whether it was due to the storm or just being demolished the only section left standing at one time was the lifeboat station and I think it was the Army that was called in to blow it up,but after the explosion it looked untouched :lol:
Hope this is of some use
