Friends of Prince Of Wales Pier Falmouth

Friends of Prince Of Wales Pier Falmouth Prince of Wales Pier is a jewel on Falmouth's Waterfront and the main gateway to the Fal River. The pier was opened on 5 May 1905 by the Earl of Kimberley.

The foundation stone for the pier was laid on 20 July 1903 by HRH Prince of Wales, later King George V, after which the pier was named. The pier was designed by the engineer WH Tressider and the contractor was EH Page. Construction is part solid groin and part open construction with reinforced concrete piles, the solid section being approximately twice the width of the open section. The pier was

taken over by American forces during World War II. It was re-opened to the public in April 1951. There have been two main post war restorations - in 1951 and 1987

Sorry to talk a lot of 💩 but just hoping you might feel this worth a read and a share. Our rivers snd coastal waters are being poisoned by the Water Companies (largely in foreign ownership) who place dividends and executive pay above investment in sewage treatment and reducing water leaks. Authorities fail to hold them to account to we must hold the politicians to account- it’s only a short read so if you value our rivers and coastline - lets talk 💩
