More about this scene
Yarmouth Pier opened in 1876, and was built out of wood, a common material for the less elaborate piers. Ferries used to call, but from the 1930s they moved to a nearby slipway - the ferry to Lymington can be seen in the photograph. Excursions bring visitors to this day, with the pier benefiting from an extensive rebuild in the 1980s and 1990s.
