The original Victorian pier at Swanage was built between 1859 and 1861, and was used mainly by the local stone quarrying industry. When local businessman George Burt introduced regular steamer services between Swanage and nearby towns Poole and Bournemouth in 1874, a need became apparent for a second pier to be built primarily for use by passenger steamers. Construction on the new pier began in 1895, and by 1896 was first used by a steamer. The pier was officially opened for traffic in 1897. While regular steamer services ran on the new pier, up until 1966, the older original pier declined along with the stone industry it served some years earlier. Today all that remains of the old pier are some of the timber piles protruding above the water. This new pier however has recently been lovingly restored by the Swanage Pier Trust who took over it's ownership in 1993.
