General notes

St.Anne's Pier was opened by Lord Stanley in 1885. 1904 saw the completion of its famous "Moorish" pavilion, capable of seating audiences of up to 1,000. In 1910 the "Floral Hall" was completed. In subsequent years, an amusement arcade and a restaurant was added to the entrance buildings. Sadly, a series of fires from 1959 demolished the Moorish pavilion and caused considerable damage to the pier. In 1982 the Floral Hall was lost and the end of the pier was reduced by some 300 feet. The picture shows the metal framework of the pavilion following the fire.
