October morning at the pier
Early morning over Ramsey's Victorian pier. The structure is slowly being restored, section at a time, with the first few 10 of metres already open to the public. Queen Victoria's yacht once docked at the end of the pier on her visit. Prince Albert climbed a nearby hill with local guides and a stone tower was erected to commemorate the occasion. This is still known as 'The Albert Tower'. Ramsey was a big tourist destination in the 19th century and there is still plenty of evidence in the architecture.
