TR 3571 MARGATE THE PARADE

2/277 Stone Pier

II

Pier. 1810-15. Designed by John Rennie. Stone and concrete. The pier consists of five sections, angled so as to form a westward curve enclosing the harbour. The basic structure is about 900 feet long, 60 feet wide and 26 feet high; a raised promenade runs from a point just above the Droit House as far as the lighthouse at the west end. The pier is built of roughly dressed stone and there are considerable remains of the cast iron balustrade in the second and third sections of the pier (numbering from the lighthouse; the remains of cast iron lamp standards at the beginning of the pier and along the promenade are more fragmentary. The original lighthouse was destroyed in 1953; the present lighthouse, in concrete, reproduce the general form but not the details of its predecessor. It was designed by W R H Gardner and built in 1854. Single-storey C20 workshops have been built on the fourth and fifth sections of the pier, backing up against the promenade.
