Details

The Birnbeck Pier was designed by Eugenius Birch and is unusual in that it runs from the shore to a stony outcrop (Birnbeck Island, which is similar to the Knightstone nearby). A Pier Pavilion was built in 1898, replacing an earlier one of 1884, which was destroyed by fire. It takes the form of a concert pavilion typical of the period. It has been disused for some years, and the Pier is in a state of some neglect.
