End of Llandudno Pier
"Along the prom and to the end of the pier?"
According to Wikipedia:-
'The Pier Pavilion
Main article: Llandudno Pier Pavilion Theatre
Until the Second World War, the public were charged admission to access the pier. Admission allowed the promenaders access to musical entertainment from a bandstand at the pierhead. A small orchestra was established in 1877. The notable French musician, Jules Rivière was appointed to take charge of the orchestra in 1887.
The orchestral performances moved to the Pier Pavilion, built on land adjacent to the main entrance from the promenade, which had opened in September 1886. Rivière's Orchestra at the Llandudno Pier Pavilion was a great success and trebled in size to symphony proportions. This development may have contributed to the development of the promenade concert. The young Henry Wood came to Llandudno to observe the then elderly Rivière at work. The pavilion was destroyed by fire in 1994 and not rebuilt'
