Background
History
Yarmouth Corporation first proposed constructing a pier in 1870. Following the passed by Parliament in the Pier and Harbour Orders Confirmation Act 1874 (37 & 38 Vict. c. clxxxv), permission was granted for a 700-foot structure. Designed by Denham and Jenvey and built by J. Denham of Freshwater, construction began in June 1875 and the pier officially opened on 19 July 1876. Shortly after opening, the pier was damaged by a drifting ship. In 1877, access gates were installed but removed by local residents due to public opposition. The Yarmouth Town Trust took over in 1891 and created Pier Square by clearing nearby buildings. In 1916, the rrust repaired storm and vessel damage with new piles.…
Architecture
The pier extends approximately 186 metres (610 feet) into the Solent and is primarily constructed of timber piles and decking.
Visiting
Yarmouth Pier remains open to the public on a daily basis, subject to weather conditions. It is used for recreational walking and fishing.
