Southend Pier What do you know already about Southend Pier? h?v=xp0Zs2zWga4&feature= relmfu

If you walk along Southend-on-Sea’s High Street, towards the sea, your eye will be drawn in a straight line towards the longest pleasure Pier in the world. Standing for over a century it extends metres (1.341 miles) into the Thames Estuary. &st=3&tl=Southend+Pier,+Southend-on- Sea+&searchp=newsearch.srf&mapp=newmap.srf

The First Pier at Southend-June 1830 In the early-19th Century, steamships began to carry holidaymakers from London down the Thames. Southend's development as a resort, however, was initially hampered by its lack of good landing facilities. Travellers often bypassed the town, preferring to continue to Margate rather than hitching a lift with a fisherman into Southend! The construction of a pier helped to stop this trend.

The pier was popular with locals from the beginning. When Sir William Heygate brought the news from London that Parliament had passed a bill allowing the construction of a pier, he was mobbed by enthusiastic crowds. By the 1880s, however, the wooden structure was unsafe, and it was decided to construct an iron pier. James Brunlees, who built Britain's first iron leisure pier at Southport, designed it. But the old pier was not wasted - a Mayoral chair was made from some of the wood in 1892!
