With its long coastline and mild climate, the County of Kent was at the forefront of the growth of the British seaside resort. From the 1860s, a 'mania' developed amongst resorts to erect a showpiece pleasure pier, with Margate, in Kent, having its first pier in 1855. This book talks about such piers in the county of Kent.
