South Shields Pier was constructed by John Smith in 1854. The pier was built to provide a safe harbor for ships and to facilitate the shipping trade in the region. It has since undergone various renovations and extensions to adapt to changing maritime needs.
The Walton Pier was built by local businessman Thomas Smith and opened in 1830. It was initially constructed as a wooden structure and underwent several renovations and extensions over the years. The pier has become a popular attraction, featuring amusement facilities and offering scenic views of the North Sea.
Southend Pier, located in Essex, England, extends approximately 1.34 miles (2.16 kilometers) into the Thames Estuary and is the longest pleasure pier in the world. The depth of the water around the pier varies, but it generally ranges from about 1 to 2 meters (3 to 6.5 feet) at low tide. The pier itself is built above the water level, allowing for easy access to the seaside.
The Morecambe Pier was originally opened in 1853. It underwent various modifications and extensions over the years, with significant renovations occurring in the late 19th and early 20th centuries.

The original pier, built in 1830, was built for landing goods and passengers from steamers and was 300ft (91m) long. This pier was badly damaged in a storm in the 1890s. In 1895, the Walton-on-the-Naze hotel and pier company opened a replacement pier 500ft longer than the original. Several extensions have increased the pier's length to 2,600ft (793m), the third longest in the UK. Today, the pier remains as a tourist attraction, with amusements and fun-fair rides. It is also used for fishing.
