Colwyn Bay Victoria Pier was one of the later British piers to be built, opening on 1st June 1900. As first constructed, Colwyn Bay Victoria Pier was just 316ft (96m) long and 40ft (12m) wide, comprising a timber promenade deck with seating and railings along its length, and a large 'moorish' style pavilion. The pavilion was built to a very high standard, and the interior was finished in a typically ornate fashion.
This beautiful pier was closed to the public for a number of years. But is now undertaking an extensive restoration programme by the new owner. The new owner plans to restore the pier to its former splendour and make it the focus of the town's tourism trade once again.
