Promoting and sustaining interest in the preservation and continued enjoyment of Seaside Piers


LOST PIERS

To date, 36 pleasure piers have been lost from around the UK coastline and these are listed here alphabetically.
The dates that appear below each heading are, generally, the opening and destruction/demolition dates for the main pier structure. In many cases (for example Withernsea), land-based entrance buildings still exist, many years after the loss of the pier.
The pier at Douglas, which was dismantled and re-erected at Rhos-on-Sea, is regarded as one pier.
Ventnor Royal Victoria pier was rebuilt several times. However, in easch case the original sub-structure was used and it is, therefore, considered a single pier.
