Arnside Pier

Arnside Pier and the Kent Estuary, Arnside, Cumbria, UK.
Arnside was once a small port.
The pier was built in 1860 by the Ulverston and Lancaster Railway Co. to enable ships to unload at Arnside rather than at Milnthorpe which had become inaccessible due to the silting up of the estuary following the building of the railway viaduct in 1857.
The pier had to be rebuilt in 1984 following storm damage.
A snow-covered Helvellyn can be seen in the distance.
