'It would be nice to have it used again' - calls to restore historic pier CAMPAIGNERS are calling for action to restore a historic military pier and make it safe for anglers and families to use. At 380ft long, the MoD’s Barge Pier, at Shoebury Garrison, has a long way to go to rival the Southend landmark just a few miles away. However, residents believe the pier - with an 84ft wide pierhead - has plenty of room for walkers and anglers. But sadly the structure is no longer safe. The pier, most recently used for a display of remembrance poppies, has been fenced off from the public, but there are calls for it to be preserved rather than be left to crumble into the sea.
