Lady Eleanor Cecily Clifton, Eugenius Birch
The Pier, which was designed by Eugenius Birch as the first pleasure attraction in Lytham, was opened by Lady Eleanor Cecily Clifton on 17 April 1865. It was 914 feet long and with continuous seating and gas lighting all along its deck. The pier fell into disrepair following a fire in 1928 when the pavilion was burnt out. It was demolished in 1960.
