Cleethorpes Pier
From Graces Guide
Plans for the pier first appeared in late 1866 in The London Gazette and construction was ordered in 1867.
The pier was built by Head, Wrightson and Co at a cost of £8,000 (equivalent to £713,586 in 2019) and financed by the Manchester, Sheffield and Lincolnshire Railway, who later took on an annual £450 lease in 1884 followed by full acquisition 20 years later for £11,250.
The original pavilion was destroyed by fire in 1903 but in 1905 a new one was built, halfway along the pier, and also a cafeteria and shops at the entry from the promenade.
