Promenade, Colwyn Bay, Conwy County, Wales,
The Victoria Pier, Colwyn Bay, projects into the Bay of Colwyn on the coast of North Wales. Colwyn Bay pier is 750 ft (227m) long, but sadly is no longer accessible to the general public. Once the jewel in the crown of a popular holiday resort sadly today it is nothing more than an eyesore. It's troubled recent history has culminated with bankruptcy for its owner Mr Stephen Hunt (now discharged) and court actions are continuing between Mr Hunt and Conwy County Council. A public meeting was held on 22 January 2010 and several hundred people attended. The majority supported proposals to help restore the pier to its former glory, but little was said at the meeting concerning the practicalities of cost and if indeed the structure of the pier is capable of being restored. Personally I believe everybody to be in denial about the true state of the pier structure.....
