The pier was built by the Hodbarrow Mining Company in the mid 1800s, and almost 600 vessels a year were using it by 1864.
Millom Pier grew to be nearly half a mile long, and included the original harbour. On one day alone in 1892, eight steam vessels shipped 4400 tons of ore from the local mines.
The last shipment took place in 1940, and the pier was derelict by 1951.
