Southend on Sea Essex England UK 3 January 2022 Southend Pier on a grey January day. The Pier at miles long is the longest pleasure pier in the world and is popular with walkers and fishermen. Wikipedia: Southend Pier is a major landmark in Southend-on-Sea. Extending miles ( km) into the Thames Estuary, it is the longest pleasure pier in the world.[2] The bill to build the new pier, to replace a previous timber jetty, received Royal Assent in May 1829 with construction starting in July 1829. The timber pier was replaced by an iron pier that opened to the public in August 1889. The Southend Pier Railway, opened in the early 1890s, was the first pier railway in the country.
