EDITORS COMMENTS
Bask in the nostalgic charm of Tenby Pier, a historic Victorian and Edwardian gem nestled in the picturesque seaside town of Tenby, Pembrokeshire, South Wales. Built in 1897 and officially opened in 1899, this majestic pier was designed primarily as a steamer jetty for services from nearby South Wales resorts, as well as from North Devon and Somerset piers. The pier's rich history transports us back in time, evoking the elegance and allure of the Victorian and Edwardian eras. Tenby Pier, also known as Royal Victoria Pier, was a hub of activity during its heyday, connecting the town to the wider world beyond its shores. Its intricate design, with its sweeping curves and ornate details, is a testament to the engineering prowess of the time. Sadly, the pier's glory days came to an end between 1946 and 1953, when it was gradually demolished. Today, only remnants of its former grandeur remain, serving as a poignant reminder of a bygone era. The pier's crumbling structures stand proudly against the backdrop of the turquoise sea and Tenby's quaint townscape, inviting us to imagine the stories that once unfolded on its once bustling decks. A visit to Tenby Pier is a must for anyone seeking a taste of Wales' rich maritime history. This evocative image captures the essence of a bygone era, inviting us to reflect on the past and appreciate the beauty and history that still remains.
