The pier suffered extensive fire damage during the early hours of Tuesday 5 October 2010.
Although the fire brigade arrived shortly after being alerted (at approximately 0100 BST), the fire had quickly spread causing severe damage to the wooden buildings.
Estimates indicate that 95% of the superstructure of the pier was subsequently destroyed in the fire.
Two people were arrested on suspicion of arson, but, despite numerous bail hearings, no charges were made.
