The Old Jetty
by sandinista
The old jetty, St.Annes Pier. Only one storey of the jetty can now be seen but there were originally three storeys and a deep channel passed in front, suitable for steamboats which took passengers to Lytham, Southport & Blackpool.
When a new shipping channel to Preston was created in the 1890s the old channel silted up and the level of sand on St.Annes beach rose by over 20 feet. Since then, it is only on very high tides that the water covers the foreshore

I agree with Shaun. I was going to mention the raindrop on the other one, but Shaun beat me to it . Actually, being honest I never noticed it!
