More about this scene
This pier opened in 1854. It was acquired by the Corporation in 1900, and they rebuilt the pier with a pavilion and promenade in 1903. In the same year they purchased the glass Winter Garden from Torquay, dismantled it and erected it beside the pier entrance. From the 1950s some of the biggest names in entertainment, including Bob Monkhouse, Harry Secombe and Dick Emery, appeared at the pier.
