Redevelopment of the Pier Head site, High Street, Swanage
Redevelopment of the Pier Head site, High Street, Swanage
This was previously the site of the Pier Head building, built as a temporary mess hall in the 1940s. It was later used as a windsurfing school, cafe and bingo hall. The building had been empty and decaying since the 1990s.

In 2007 the building was decorated with trompe l'oeil murals depicting the past, present and possible future of the building.

Plans for redevelopment of the site were approved in 2017 and 2018. The new building will house apartments and retail units.
