 At intervals along the pier are hexagonal kiosks built around 1900 in wood and glass with minaret roofs topped with decorative finials.On opening two of the kiosks were occupied by a bookstall and confectionery stall and the kiosks near the ends of the pier were seated shelters.The pier-head is a combination of 420 tons of cast iron and 340 tons of wrought iron columns; standing above the low water line, it sees a regular change in sea level due to the tide.
