This session will chart the development of British seaside pleasure piers: from their beginnings as humble landing stages through to the \u2018golden age\u2019 of pier building. We\u2019ll also be looking at the current rejuvenation of piers, like Bournemouth, and how they are embracing the future. Come along and gain a unique insight into the past, present and future of piers, share your own memories of seaside piers, and let us know your hopes for their future.<\/p>\n<p>Check out a taster of what Anya will be discussing in this recently published article;\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/theconversation.com\/victorian-pleasure-piers-are-unique-to-britain-but-they-are-under-threat-97553\">The Conversation<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Anya has been Honorary Secretary of the\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/piers.org.uk\/\">National Piers Society<\/a>\u00a0since 2013<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignleft size-thumbnail wp-image-75780\" src=\"http:\/\/blogs.bournemouth.ac.uk\/research\/files\/2019\/02\/205997_193228687407221_7763424_n-150x150.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"150\" height=\"150\" \/><a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/PiersSociety\/\">@National Piers Society<\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/PiersSociety\">@pierssociety<\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/nationalpierssociety\/\">@nationalpierssociety<\/a><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>If you have any questions please do\u00a0<a href=\"mailto:publicengagement@bournemouth.ac.uk\">get in touch<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Find out more about Caf\u00e9 Scientifique and sign up to our mailing list to hear about other research events:\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/research.bournemouth.ac.uk\/cafe-scientifique\/\">www.bournemouth.ac.uk\/cafe-sci<\/a><\/p>\n<p>You can also follow us on\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/cafescibournemouth\/\">Facebook<\/a>\u00a0and\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/CafeSciBmouth\">Twitter<\/a><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-75746\" src=\"http:\/\/blogs.bournemouth.ac.uk\/research\/files\/2019\/02\/CafeSciMayFlyer.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1024\" height=\"1400\" \/><\/section>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Dr Anya Chapman @ Cafe Scientifique Pier Review: What does the future hold for British Seaside Piers? 7th May from 7:30pm until 9pm\u00a0(doors open at 6:30pm) at\u00a0Caf\u00e9 Boscanova,\u00a0Boscombe BU research,\u00a0Events,\u00a0Knowledge Exchange and Impact Team,\u00a0Public engagement\u00a0ballen Caf\u00e9 Scientifique\u00a0takes place\u00a0on the first Tuesday evening of the month at\u00a0Caf\u00e9 Boscanova Enjoy listening to a short talk before engaging&#8230;  <a class=\"excerpt-read-more\" href=\"https:\/\/microsites.bournemouth.ac.uk\/tourism\/2019\/03\/14\/dr-anya-chapman-cafe-scientifique-7th-may-at-1930-pier-review-what-does-the-future-hold-for-british-seaside-piers\/\">Read more &raquo;<span class=\"sr-only\"> about Dr Anya Chapman @ Cafe Scientifique 7th May at 19:30 \u2013 Pier Review: What does the future hold for British Seaside Piers?<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":327,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"ngg_post_thumbnail":0,"footnotes":""},"categories":[7],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-4861","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-research"],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/microsites.bournemouth.ac.uk\/tourism\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/4861","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/microsites.bournemouth.ac.uk\/tourism\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/microsites.bournemouth.ac.uk\/tourism\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/microsites.bournemouth.ac.uk\/tourism\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/327"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/microsites.bournemouth.ac.uk\/tourism\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=4861"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/microsites.bournemouth.ac.uk\/tourism\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/4861\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":4862,"href":"https:\/\/microsites.bournemouth.ac.uk\/tourism\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/4861\/revisions\/4862"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/microsites.bournemouth.ac.uk\/tourism\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=4861"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/microsites.bournemouth.ac.uk\/tourism\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=4861"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/microsites.bournemouth.ac.uk\/tourism\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=4861"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
