Designs for the redevelopment of the 104-year old Grand Pier in Weston-super-Mare, Somerset, have been unveiled.

Six architecture firms have put forward their ideas for the future of the Grade-II listed structure, just eight weeks after the attraction was destroyed by a large fire. The designs have been drawn up by four Bristol-based architects – Stride Treglown, Acanthus Ferguson Mann, Angus Meek and AWW, as well as Ray Hole and Grimshaw, both of which are based in London.

Pier owner, Kerry Michael, said: "We now have to look at the details before making a decision on the way forward. Our view has always been that we want an up-to-date building that is an exciting leisure attraction and also reflects the tradition of being the centre-piece of a Victorian seafront. "Now we must look at the costings of how much the designs will require to be built, and how much will have to be spent on running costs and maintenance in the future."

The designs have now been put on show until 6 October in the town's Winter Gardens to allow local residents to have their say on the proposals.
