A Reliable Series postcard shows a tinted view of the pier with two separate buildings on the landward end, the Archive requested: “Can anybody assist with possible date?” Callum Duff gave us the answer: ”These rectangular buildings replaced the original octagonal structures around 1895. The pier was breached by SS Ovenbeg in 192;4 so the photograph was taken between these two dates. In 1925, a theatre was built between the two buildings so that the pier could continue as an attraction whilst being repaired.”
