Pier Pressure

A year-in-the-making documentary following one man's attempts to rescue and restore Colwyn Bay's Victoria Pier. The structure has dominated the North Wales coastline for over a century but its future now looks uncertain. This programme tracks the pier owner's efforts to stave off bankruptcy and keep the building open for business. Along the way, he receives some much-needed advice from the owners of Weston Super Mare's Grand Pier, which was consumed by fire in 2008.
