Brighton's West Pier is gradually slipping away from us, quite literally, as every storm takes its toll.
Why was the damage it originally sustained, which caused it to fall into gradual decline, not covered by insurance?
Surely it would have been covered for the barge hitting it in the Seventies? This was no act of God, after all.
Or did someone forget to pay the premiums?
