A song with words and music by Peter Tranchell, probably composed in the late 1940s, and possibly written for Footlights.
The cover states:
Please return to
PETER TRANCHELL
The Plantation
Curdridge
Southampton
i.e. the family home, while other scores with stylistically similar covers and notation tend to state Eastbourne College or King's College, Cambridge.
First line: I'm going as far as I can on the pier.
On the Pier is (unusually) not listed in Tranchell's own Thematic Catalogue of his early compositions.
