Geocache Description:

Central Pier opened on 30th May 1868 as South Pier (or the People's Pier) and was 460 metres in length, 120 metres of which was a landing jetty which was removed in 1975. From the start, the new pier's emphasis was on fun rather than the genteel relaxation provided at North Pier.

In the early days fun was provided mainly by dancing facilities and Steamboat excursions from the jetty, but in the 20th century, roller skating was introduced along with fairground rides and amusement machines.
View from South Beach
The pierhead theatre was modernised in 1986 and a striking addition came in 1990 when a 33 metre high ferris wheel was erected, a half-scale reference to the Victorian attraction that had been part of the Winter Gardens complex a century earlier.

You are looking for a black magnetic nano, trust your instincts not the coords because of all the metal around.
