| Ddisgrifiad / Description | The Pier Company took the Pier over from the London and North Western Railway Company at a cost of £1,250. The first meeting of the Pier Company was in November 1875 and was signed by J. A. Cheeseman who was both Secretary and Pier Master.
The Sixth Annual Report refers to a Pavilion and Swimming Baths about to be erected. The next year's Report (1882) announced the contract was let. The roof of the new Pavilion had not been on very long when 'on January 26 1883, a very heavy gale from the south west blew in the Dome and the whole of the south gable of the Pavilion, smashing iron, wood and glass and causing great destruction'.
