One of the longest piers in the U.K. runs out into the mouth of the Ribble Estuary. From the end of the pier you can look back on the miles of wide sandy beaches and the sea front of Southport. Over the estuary you can see the Blackpool Tower and Fair with the world famous BIG ONE roller coaster. Walk along the pier passing over the promenade gardens and past the boating lakes and seafront zoo. n the year 1849 from the center of the promenade of Southport a long jetty structure was constructed. Built by the local fishermen to take trippers out to their boats at low tide, it became popular with holiday makers as an attraction on the promenade to visit, for one penny access to the jetty was given to anyone not catching a boat for the privilege of walking the slippery planks.After much debate in the town a replacement for the jetty was started in August of 1859.
A year later on 2nd August 1860 the new PIER was opened. After a number of extensions the length of the pier was eventually completed in 1868 at an impressive 1460 yards. The second longest in the country after Southend on sea.
Steamers together with other boats would dock at the end of the Pier providing pleasure trips to Blackpool and Lytham, a small tramway the length of the Pier was erected to assist access to the its length.
In 1933 a fire laid waste to the large wooden parts of the Pier causing its closure and rebuilding.
