Weston-super-Mare pier?

I would quite like it to be rebuilt with a modernist building rather than yet another Edwardian pastiche. Remember that the British piers were founded when we still had steamships sailing around our coasts as a valid means of transport as opposed to everything by road or air. I read Thomas Hardy's early novel 'A Pair of Blue Eyes' recently and was amazed to learn that in the mid-Victorian times the railways were not seen as economical or safe, and inter-coastal steamship routes were still operating, and were seen as a preferred option for budget transport for people between London and the West Country.
