The Pier You are looking towards the site of the Pier built in 1835 It eventually closed to the public in 1955. In 1969 its demolition was announced. The Piermaster's House (in front of you) was built in 1901, replacing the original wooden Toll House. The White Chapel Now long gone, the Chapel was built in this southwestern corner of Blue Town by dockyard workers in their own time and at their own expense in 1785. John Wesley preached here on several occasions.
