Zumi sorry I missed this posting at the beginning of the week, we were rather unsuccessful with piers because the main purpose of Victorian piers was as landing stages for the paddle steamers that took passengers round the coast. Here in Ramsgate of course the paddle steamers used the purpose built paddle steamer quay at the end of the harbours east pier.
However seaside resorts had piers and Ramsgate as one of the country’s premier resorts wasn’t going to miss out, we had the one you mention which was part of the Granville Marina leisure complex and also one at Pegwell, photographs of the Pegwell one are fairly scarce so I have included a link in case you don’t have one.
