Southend, Essex, U.K. Southend Pier, originally a wooden structure, was opened in June 1830 with a length of 600ft (182m). By 1833 it had almost tripled in length, and by 1846 had become the longest pier in Europe, stretching for almost 7,000ft (2,133.6m). In 1885 it was decided that a new iron pier should now replace the original ageing structure. Designed by James Brunlees, work on the new Southend Pier commenced in 1887 and was opened on 24th August 1890, complete with an electric railway. Various extensions and improvements over the next 30 years ensured that Southend Pier kept pace with visitor requirements. These included an extension to the pier head in 1897, increasing Southend Pier's overall length to 7,080ft (2,145m) - a world record for a pier. The pier is so long it even has its own electric railway.
