The pier, 396m long, was built in the late 1860s at Douglas on the Isle of Man. It was carefully dismantled, transported and re-erected in 1895 at Rhos Point at the western end of Colwyn Bay, where it is shown in this 1934 view, as an attraction for the growing holiday resort of Rhos-on-sea. It was demolished in 1954 and only the pier Toll Room, now a small museum, remains.
