Documentary Conclusion and Project Timeline

CONCLUSION

Well this concludes my documentary project and I hope it has been informative and interesting to read and that the images offer interesting views of the piers' structures and of how they look today.  I also hope this project offers an insight into how these piers provided a service during their heyday.
