A fire at the 103-year-old Brighton Palace Pier on the evening of 4 February destroyed the ghost train ride and damaged two other rides and some decking.

Surveyors said that there is no structural damage to the pier.

The pier is insured by Fusion Insurance Services which writes a programme for its owners, Noble Amusements, as part of their overall property portfolio.

The risk was placed through the Midlands office of broker TL Clowes and, at this stage, the loss is estimated in the order of £1m, including business interruption.
