Victoria Pier, Colwyn Bay
Victoria Pier, Colwyn Bay
Building of the Victoria Pier at Colwyn Bay was started in 1899 and completed in 1900. The pier was a popular place for seaside entertainment for many years until the 1950s and 60s when it went into a decline. In recent years there have been several attempts at regeneration and restoration, all of which have failed. The pier is now in danger of being delisted as grade II and demolished by the council.
