What is the “doughnut groyne?” Never mind Brighton Pier!
I’ll hold my hands up to Brighton Pier (and immediately go to correct it) but come on, everyone knows the doughnut groyne!
I seem to recall it as the East Street bastion?
When I worked next to it – for ten years – it was always known at the East Street Groyne. But the installation of the doughnut artwork has changed that.
The groyne with the doughnut statue on it! Everyone knows that one. It was a super popular place to catch magikarp in Pokémon Go.
