Bangor Pier from an extraordinarily long way away
Bangor Pier from an extraordinarily long way away
This relatively uninteresting view of the Pier, taken from the landing stage beside the Menai Suspension Bridge, was submitted here since it records the loss of the so-called "Linkspan" onto the landing stage of the pier. The landing stage was constructed at low cost during the 1980s restoration of the pier, and its rudimentary specification resulted in it being deemed unsuitable for use by the public, so has remained unused for most of its existence. Its declining condition has necessitated the removal of the connecting gangway, presumably to eliminate any risk of damage to the pier in the event of a failure of the landing stage. Presumably the rest of the landing stage will be removed at some point.
