Garth Pier at Bangor in north Wales


Garth Pier (also known as Bangor Pier) is a Grade II listed structure in Bangor, Gwynedd, Wales. At 1,500 feet (460 m) in length, it is the second-longest pier in Wales, and the ninth longest in the British Isles. Designed by Webster of Westminster, London, the 1,550 feet (470 m) pier has cast-iron columns, with the rest of the metal structure made in steel, including the handrails. The wooden deck has a series of octagonal kiosks with roofs, plus street lighting, which lead to a pontoon landing stage for pleasure steamers on the Menai Strait.
