South Parade Pier in Southsea, Hampshire, was given a guide price of £190,000 to £210,000 at the sale by Clive Emson auctioneers. However, despite the failure to sell, Rob Marchant from Clive Emson said a post-auction deal could still be struck. He said: “The pier offers huge scope but needs investment and might still be snapped up for the price of a three-bedroom semi. “We are talking to interested parties.”
