More about this scene
Opened in 1885, the pier cost something in the order of £30,000 to build. The North Channel provided a navigable stretch of water close to the head, and thus several large steamers and private yachts were able to moor here. The notice advertising 'Fred Carlton's White Coons' could well raise an eyebrow today.
