Piers

NOTES: The Swift Bridge of Service and Swift Open-Air Theatre were built for the second season of the Century of Progress International Exposition, July-October 1934.

NOTES: The pier, built as a landing stage for steamships from London, suffered much storm and war damage until it was rebuilt in the late 1990s, reopening in 2001.

NOTES: Wilds provided a plan for a 'new town' at Milton-on-Sea, Gravesend, around 1830. J. C. Loudon designed the terrace gardens in 1835 and Harmer Street, running up from the Pier, was built in 1836 as part of the grand scheme which never came to fruition. The pier itself was opened in 1844 (engineer J. B. Redman).
