Penarth Pier, Victorian pier in Penarth, Wales.
The 650-foot cast iron and timber pier extends into the Bristol Channel, featuring an Art Deco pavilion that houses multiple entertainment facilities.
The Penarth Promenade & Landing Pier Company constructed the pier in 1894, initially serving as a landing jetty for steamship trade across the Bristol Channel.
The pier pavilion functions as a community center with an art gallery, cinema, auditorium, and performance spaces that host regular events throughout the year.
Visitors can access the pier daily, enjoying the tea room and bar with views over the Bristol Channel while exploring the various retail spaces.
The structure survived multiple ship collisions, including a significant impact from the Canadian merchant vessel Port Royal Park in 1947 that required two years of repairs.
