Saltburn Pier, Victorian seaside pier in Saltburn-by-the-Sea, England.
Description
Saltburn Pier is an iron and wooden structure that reaches out into the sea with circular kiosk buildings positioned symmetrically at its entrance. The pier connects the town directly to the water and provides access to various facilities along its length.
History
The pier was planned by the Saltburn Pier Company in 1867 and opened in May 1869 for steamship services and public access. Part of the structure was removed during World War II, but the building survived and has remained in use ever since.
Culture
The entrance building houses a restaurant where you can sit and watch the sea while eating food typical of this Yorkshire coast.
Practical
The pier is open throughout the year and sits a short walk from the town center with easy access from local roads. You can reach it comfortably from the Cliff Lift connection or by walking directly from the town along established paths.
Did you know?
This is the last remaining pier in Yorkshire, having survived multiple heavy storms and wartime damage that destroyed others. Its continued operation through changing times makes it a rare survivor of this type of seaside structure.
