Former Pier Entrance Building

The Former Pier Entrance Building is an octagonal single-storey structure dating from the 19th century, situated on an ashlar base that forms part of the sea wall on the seaward side. The building features rusticated coursed stone and a slate pyramidal roof with lead ridging and a finial. It has a shallow offset plinth and a corbelled upper course. The main entrance is located on the west (landward) face, with a doorway and windows that have chamfered jambs and cusped stops. There is a reduced chimney on the north side; historic images indicate that it originally had a three-stage chimney that nearly matched the height of the roof finial.

Narrow windows are present on the southwest, southeast, and northeast faces, while a wide window with narrow glazing in a fixed frame is located on the south side. There is an additional doorway on the east seaward face, which likely led to the now lost pier. Below the plinth course on the three east faces, remnants of projecting steelwork can be seen, which would have been part of the pier structure. Attached to the southeast corner is a section of ashlar wall approximately 6 meters long, which returns at its end to meet the sea wall. This wall has slots at either end and is topped by a later brick wall and railings, forming part of the sea wall but likely serving as the landing stage of the pier. A later building attached to the north is not of special interest.

The interior consists of a single room with a basement that has been converted for use as a shop and workshop. The walls and ceiling are boarded, and the basement is accessed by a circular stair.
