Cleethorpes Pier
Cleethorpes Pier is a pleasure pier in the town of Cleethorpes, North East Lincolnshire, England.
It originally cost £8,000, which was financed by the Manchester, Sheffield and Lincolnshire Railway (later the Great Central Railway). It was officially opened on August Bank Holiday Monday 1873.
This iconic Pier was named Pier of the Year 2016 by the National Piers Society -
In December 2016, it was confirmed Cleethorpes Pier was indeed to become the “world’s biggest” fish and chip restaurant and takeaway. The new owner, Papa’s Fish and Chips, said the project would create over 100 new jobs and be able to host 500 people at a time. The pier would, however, continue to operate in its current format, with the tea room, bar and function room staying open alongside the new fish and chip restaurant.
