Clevedon Pier
Clevedon is an English seaside town in Somerset. It lies along the Severn Estuary and features in the Domesday Book of 1086.
Clevedon grew in the Victorian period as a seaside resort and in the 20th century as a dormitory town for Bristol.
The seafront has ornamental gardens, a Victorian bandstand and other attractions including the Marine Lake
Clevedon Pier, which opened in 1869, is one of the earliest surviving examples of a Victorian pier. On 17 October 1970, two outward spans collapsed when the seventh set of legs from the shore failed during a routine insurance load test. A trust was eventually formed and the pier and its buildings were restored and reopened on 27 May 1989, when the Waverley paddle steamer berthed and took on passengers.
