Pier extension added in 1884.
The original pier can be seen in this 1880 image by Francis Bedford. In 1880 the pier head had yet to receive its 1891 landing stage, and the large 1905 pier head pavilion has not been built- the old small bandstand was in its place.
Image is from the National Media Museum Collection, cat 1990-5037-B1-2168, Photographer Francis Bedford, who died in 1894. The museum lists this as "No known copyright" as the photographer died over 70 years ago. '
