This beautiful, charming, cinematic documentary captures a community project over 130 years in the making.
On a small island in the middle of the Irish sea, a giant derelict pier juts out into the rough sea.
Closed for decades, now the town is getting a new lease of life thanks to a defiant elderly population building something for the next generation.
A wind-swept, tea-soaked, heart-warming film about community, hope and leaving a legacy beyond our years.

We want to claim the number one spot and celebrate the very best of the British seaside, but we cannot do it without you. Voting is open now until the end of August. It takes less than five minutes to back your local pier and help us bring this prestigious award home to Herne Bay.
