West End Pier, Morecambe

United Kingdom

West End Pier was one of two piers in Morecambe, Lancashire, England, built during the late 19th century to an eventual length of 1,800 feet (550 m) long and officially opened on 3 April 1896 by Colonel William Henry Foster MP. The pier was one of the first structures in the town to be installed with electric lighting in 1899. The pier suffered storm damage in 1977 and with repair costs of £500,000, the pier was instead demolished the following year.
