Piers

NOTES: Built against the cliff face, this entertainment hall was designed by J. L. Seaton Dahl in 1913 and opened in 1927.

NOTES: The Royal Festival Hall was designed by the LCC Architects Department and opened in 1951 for the Festival of Britain. The Shot Tower, designed by David Riddal Roper, was built for Thomas Maltby & Company in 1826 and remained in use for the production of lead shot balls until 1949, after which it was incorporated into the scheme for the 1951 Festival of Britain on the South Bank of the River Thames. In 1950 the top of the tower was removed and a steel-framed superstructure was added instead, providing a radio beacon for the duration of the Festival. It was demolished after the Festival to make way for the Queen Elizabeth Hall, which opened in 1967.

NOTES: This beach on the foreshore of the Tower of London opened officially on the 23rd July 1934. The beach closed in 1971 owing to pollution and the water being deemed unfit to bathe in.

NOTES: The pier was badly damaged in 1978 by severe gales and was subsequently considerably shortened.
