More about this scene
The pier, the second longest in the country after Southend's, reached out from the mile and a half long esplanade and was built in 1832 to shorten the time taken to travel to the continent. Boats travelling down the Thames estuary from London were met by stagecoaches here, and their passengers were transported onward by road to Dover. The Grand Pier Pavilion was opened by the Lord Mayor of London in 1910, but was gutted by fire in 1970.
