More about this scene
Seaside piers were unique to Britain. They initially consisted of a jetty leading to a landing stage for boats, but they soon became fashionable promenades extending over the sea. By the 1860s, their popularity, combined with technical innovation derived from the railways, led to the construction of purpose-built pleasure piers. Worthing Pier, opened in 1862, was the first of these new-style piers in Sussex.
