Grand Pier (Weston-super-Mare)

A seaside pier built to the designs of P. Munroe in 1903/4, by contractors Mayoh & Haley, extended in 1905, and with later alterations. The superstructure is of early-C21 date.

Grade II listed Grand Pier at Weston-super-Mare was built between 1903 and 1904 by Mayoh and Haley and was extended 1905 with some alterations since including steel piles and reinforcements after a serious fire in 2008.

The 370 metre Grand Pier extends out into the sea to the remains of an old landing stage, just past the ‘Pavillion End’. The cast-iron substructure retains its distinctive appearance with openwork girders and columns on an impressive scale.

Today, the Grand Pier at Weston-super-Mare is a must-visit for anyone in the area. With its amusement arcades, rides, and restaurants, there’s something for everyone.
