The Greswold value of curiosity on show in Year 5 Elms
After a brief discussion about their ongoing Victorian projects, Mr Hornsey noticed an impressive piece of artwork depicting a Victorian pier in Year 5 Elms last week. The work, belonging to Elise and part of her Victorian project, prompted Mr Hornsey to set her a bit of extra homework! As most piers were built during the Victorian era, which pier is the actual longest in the UK?
To her credit, Elise was armed and ready with the answer the following week:
The longest pier in the UK is Southend pier in Southend-on-Sea in Essex. It extends 1.34 miles into the Thames estuary.
Well done Elise and a perfect example of our value of curiosity on show.
