Summary
[edit]
| Description |
English: Paignton Pier. Work started on Paignton Pier in 1878 and was completed the following year.
The 780ft (236m) pier, with its customary grand pavilion at the seaward end, was opened to the public for the first time in June 1879. In 1919 the pier-head and some other buildings were destroyed in a fire. These were never replaced and a period of decline followed. In 1980 the fortunes of Paignton Pier took a turn for the better when a major redevelopment project was undertaken. This included the widening of the shoreward end to ensure a uniform neck, and the construction of the rather stylish pavilions that remain today. 578819 For more information about Paignton Pier click on http://www.theheritagetrail.co.uk/piers/paignton%20pier.htm |
