More about this scene
The pier opened in 1873; it was constructed by Head Wrightson, an engineering firm from nearby Stockton-on-Tees with a national reputation. Pleasure cruises used to run from a small landing stage, but a colliding ship wrecked this in 1885. Robert Conway's tariff list is typical of late 19th-century advertising signs.
