As covered last week on VentnorBlog, Totland Pier was up for grabs at auction this morning.
Derek, owner of the pier tells us that the prospect of the pier being up for sale has raised a great deal of interest on and off the Island.
Lot 21 didn’t reach its reserve price at auction today and Derek is back in his studio this afternoon working on his latest artwork.
One of the comments raised from the podcast we did with Derek on Friday suggested a trust be set up to purchase the pier for community projects. If anyone is interested in pursuing this further, get in touch.
