Folkestone Pier
From Graces Guide
1887 'A marine pier is being erected at Folkestone, Messrs. Heenan and Froude, of Manchester, being the contractors. The estimated cost is 24,700l., which is the smallest capital employed by any of the large pier companies in England. The pier is to be 700 ft. in length and 30 ft. wide, and already the concrete sea wall is nearly complete, and the first screw-pile has been driven. The contractors hope to complete the undertaking, so far as the pier itself is concerned, by August next.[1]
