"St Anne's Pier was built to a length of 914 feet at a cost of £18,000 and opened in 1885. The architect was A. Dowson. It has an iron column and lattice girder framework structure. In 1904, several kiosks and an impressive Moorish Pavilion were constructed at a cost of £30,000. A mock-Tudor entrance building was constructed at around this time and a Floral Hall was built in about 1910. The Floral Hall was used to stage concerts, operas and vaudeville acts and performers such as Gracie Fields, George Formby and Bob Monkhouse graced the stage. An amusement arcade was added in 1954 and a restaurant in 1960. However the pier suffered considerable damage by fire. In 1974, a fire destroyed the Moorish Pavilion and in 1982 the Floral Hall was burnt down. The pier's length was reduced to 600 feet."
