More about this scene

Part piled and part concrete, the pier first opened in 1846, and was then developed in both 1872 and 1895. There used to be a small seaward end pavilion, whereas there are now just shelters here. Today's pier is widely used by anglers, promenaders and those on boat trips.

Our 1975 holiday in Beaumaris included myself, husband, two daughters, mother and father. We ate most nights in the Cottage Café where early in the week I spotted a large white horse ornament in a cabinet half-way up the stairs but it was not for sale. My father evidently spoke every night to the owner (the name Gwen springs to mind) trying to persuade her to let him buy the horse for me as a surprise. By the end ...see more
