Egremont, Landing Stage 1890

More about this scene
This stage was built to replace an original from 1835; it lasted until 1909, when it was replaced. When a tanker hit the pier in May 1932, it took a year to repair it. There was no hurry, because the Seacombe pier could be used - the passengers would go the last mile by bus. In 1940, during war-time blackouts, the pier was hit again, very badly, by a ship ready to form a convoy to cross the North Atlantic. This time the pier was abandoned, and before the war was over it had disappeared completely.
