Description: View by unidentified photographer, European Scenery, is titled The New Pier, Rhyl. Rhyl Pier, officially known as the Victoria Pier, was a pleasure pier in the seaside town of Rhyl, Wales and the first to be built in North Wales. Opened in August 1867 at a length of over half a mile, it was the town's central attraction for the years that followed. Following dispute and public consultation regarding the location it would be built, the pier was constructed near the centre of the esplanade. Several disasters occurred during the pier's lifespan, in particular several incidents during the late 19th century of boats crashing into the pier. In 1897, celebrity diver Tommy Burns fatally dived 100 feet off the pier, observed by around 3000 people, before being declared dead shortly after being brought out of the sea.
