An Entity of Type: building, from Named Graph: http://dbpedia.org, within Data Space: dbpedia.org

Herne Bay Pier was the third pier to be built at Herne Bay, Kent for passenger steamers.

It was destroyed in a storm in 1978 and dismantled in 1980, leaving a stub with sports centre at the landward end, and part of the landing stage isolated at sea. It was preceded by two piers: a wooden deep-sea pier designed by Thomas Rhodes, assistant of Thomas Telford, and a second shorter iron version by Wilkinson & Smith.
