Weymouth - The Wooden Pier
circa 1938

After a long search I eventually acquired this picture.

It is High Water as indicated by the sea level to the left of the picture.
In the centre can be seen the shelters which also provided an ideal viewing platform for those who wished to observe the harbourside activity.
Beyond the fence is the railway which ran through the town and terminated here.
Passengers would disembark on to a platform and were immediately alongside their ship.
In the distance can just be seen the funnel of a paddle steamer, these vessels would also use the steps visible at the end of the pier.
