Ryde Pier: an island story since 1814
Ryde Pier opened on 26 July 1814. More than two centuries later, it remains part of the island’s seaside story.
The National Piers Society records its opening date. The National Archives identifies Ryde as Britain’s oldest pier.
It is a simple piece of island history to look out for when exploring Ryde. Our accompanying image is an imaginative vintage-style illustration, not a historical photograph.
