British Piers

The seaside piers around the coast of Britain stand as a powerful reminder of the achievements of Victorian engineers and entrepreneurs. At the turn of the last century, almost a hundred piers existed: now only half remain and several face an uncertain future.

There are currently 55 pleasure piers in existence around the UK coastline. Following are images of these piers. No account is taken as to whether a particular pier is still open to the public, only whether the structure is still standing.
