Out in the harbour, the marina curve appears to have been completed; beyond it work is now being undertaken to construct a pier. Just below the sports centre, the pile of shingle has been removed but work is still ongoing to fit ‘anodes’ to reduce corrosion of the piles. The beach will be restored to its previous profile when the work is completed, aided by the natural build-up of shingle.

Planning permission was granted by Dover District Council under application number DOV/15/01254 for the “reduction of ramps to either end of sheet pile section and construction of cargo berths and marina curve, to be attached to masonry section”. The ramps, which the planning application refers to, formed part of the Prince of Wales Pier.

Further images of the marina curve (also known as promenade pier) may be viewed on LinkExternal link while the pier beyond it is referred to as a pierhead on the website.

This TR3140 : View from the Dover Sea Sports Centre was taken over three weeks ago.
