The Pier, including Stone Lodge, Pier End Pavilions, Kiosks and remains of Pier Pavilion

Seaside pier. Iron piles with bracing support wooden deck with cast iron balustrade with Islamic pattern; iron lampstandards on balustrade. The pier runs straight NE from a stone lodge on Happy Valley Road to a polygonal platform at the seaward end; the landing stage platforms are modern. There is a later C19 extension running back from the lodge parallel to the shore.

The lodge is in grey stone, single storey, with slate roof. There are 4 rectangular kiosks to each side of pier, each with shallow-pitch roof with deep eaves with iron brackets; boarded stallrisers, square windows, central doorway facing pier square. Then 2 longer similar kiosks (just SW of the broader end platform) which are public conveniences. Near Happy Valley Road entrance there is an octagonal kiosk in similar style. On pier end platform, central large polygonal pavilion with, at NE end, taller octagonal block with ornate cupola, finial, cresting, ornate iron brackets to eaves, and iron columns; then towards SW, lower section with shallow roof with dormers and lantern to SW; verandah; iron stallrisers with dolphin reliefs. Two flanking hexagonal pavilions in the same style, but without ornate cupolas. At landward end, near S entrance, ornate cast iron columns and staircase survive from Pier Pavilion.

Kiosks and stalls along the pier to S of Grand Hotel appear to be modern.
