It's not often that I get to saunter along the pier, but if you're ever in Worthing I can heartily recommend paying theirs a visit. It wasn't a bag of chips or a chance to win a cuddly toy that we were after, but E wanted me to see the 'windows on the pier' project. The wind break which runs along the centre is full of panes of different stained glass panels depicting images of all sorts. Some mark historical events, local groups, loved ones, landmarks in the town....the list goes on and on. It's still being added to and the intention is to create a cathedral like effect. With the sun shining through them they certainly seem to have more than achieved their aim. I have only shown a small selection, but I hope that it gives you a taste of the sheer variety on show.

They're lovely and cheery! I love the rather rotund couple looking out to sea - very British! xxx
ReplyDeleteI'd like to see the pier with the window glass. Having more added makes it a place to revisit and see the new.
ReplyDeleteThank you for this. I have looked through all the artworks, they are great. We could do with more art in public places.
ReplyDeleteIt appears that you found plenty to peer at the pier. There is some amazing creativity in those glass panels isn't there?
ReplyDeletePS: Thanks for the link. Those windows are wonderfully done.
