	Clevedon Pier - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Clevedon Pier is a seaside pier in the town of Clevedon, on the English side of the estuary of the river Severn.
		On October 17, 1970, the final span of the pier collapsed during stress testing, where long polythene tanks resting on the pier were filled with water, to create a pressure of 50 pounds per square foot (2.4 kPa).
		The pier was dismantled and restored in Portishead dock.

		Clevedon was originally a rural community but with the arrival of the railway in 1847, and the town's close proximity to the industrial ports of South Wales and Bristol, its popularity as a resort was soon realised.
		The Clevedon Pier Company was formed in the early 1860s and in 1863 the necessary act of Parliament was obtained to allow the construction of a pier to commence.
		In 1891 the pier was donated to the local council, and the pier-head was reconstructed together with a new cast iron, pagoda-style pavilion.

		In 1912, the kiosks at the entrance to the pier were enhanced by the building of new entrances, these in turn were demolished in 1951 and replaced by new buildings.
		Piers were designed to be as individual as the character of the particular resort where they were placed, but the primary function of most of them was to provide an area for 'promenading' or 'taking the air'.
		The framework of many piers show incredible engineering skills, and this was coupled with a certain panache that the 19th century entreprenurs had for embellishing and ornamenting the structures.

		Her present state is a result of over-cautious public bodies (not the Council), determined opposition from the owners of the Palace Pier, the pink tape of lawyers, the arson of gangsters, and the failure of the Trust to overcome these difficulties.
		The idea of a new 21st century pier is attractive, and I would support it as a third pier, but it is irrelevant to the need to restore the West Pier.
		The seabased pier had to be abandoned two years ago when in became uninsurable; we deeply regret the delay in action over those years but they have been caused by third parties outside the control of the Trust.
