National Piers Society
Other Piers & Jetties

'Promenade' or 'pleasure' piers were predominantly an English and Welsh seaside phenomenon. However, a large number of structures, additional to those detailed in the main sections of this website, but referred to nonetheless as 'piers' or 'jetties', were built throughout Scotland, Northern Ireland, Wales and England. In the main, these structures were built as landing stages and, as well as making their traditional appearances around the coastline, were to be found 'inland' along rivers and their estuaries or along lake shores.

This listing does not include piers constructed solely for military, industrial or lifeboat use. It does, however, include some private jetties.

Construction and demolition dates are given where known and links to reference websites and/or photographic images of the piers will gradually be provided where available. Names in Bold type indicate piers with an active preservation society.
