Name of man responsible for seaside structures (5)
I believe the answer is:
piers
'structures' is the definition.
(pier is a kind of structure)
I don't understand how the rest of the clue works.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for piers that I've seen before include "Supports for bridge spans" , "Landing stages" , "Old ploughman" , "Jetties" .)
