Southwold Pier, Suffolk, England #152656650
Description
Southwold Pier was built in 1900. At 247 metres 810 ft it was long enough to accommodate the Belle steamers which carried trippers along the coast at that time. In World War II, it was weakened by two breaches, and in 1955 a large section was destroyed by a gale. The pier was entirely rebuilt and restored in 2001 and is now about 190 metres 620 ft long.
