Shotley Pier is a disused 540 feet (160 m) long railway pier in Shotley, Suffolk. Built in 1894 by Frederick Hervey, 3rd Marquess of Bristol the structure was used to service a ferry across the River Stour to Harwich, Essex. The ferry carried mail and coal as well as munitions and sailors for the nearby HMS Ganges Royal Navy establishment. During the First World War the structure was used to unload German prisoners of war captured at sea and after the war to moor captured German submarines. The pier was later used by fishermen but has been derelict since the late 1980s. In 2018 the pier was purchased by the Shotley Heritage Community Charitable Benefit Society who have since restored the first 30 metres (98 ft) of the structure.
