The new pier was built on the site of the 1900 original and used ornate ironwork salvaged from the old structure. New lamp columns followed the original design and iron fencing was painted to match the old pier’s colour from 1934. For this reason, the new pier was immediately Grade II-listed, like its predecessor.

For some people, however, this is a problem. “It will still be a Victorian pier thrown into the middle of a very modern beachfront,” said one woman, referring to the promenade upgrade of a few years ago. A Colwyn Bay man added: “Absolute eyesore. Ridiculous we put that slap bang in the middle of our brand new modern prom.”
