  • Clevedon Pier is a seaside pier in the town of Clevedon, Somerset, England on the east shore of the Severn Estuary. It was described by Sir John Betjeman, as "the most beautiful pier in England" and was designated a Grade I listed building in 2001. The pier was built during the 1860s to attract tourists and provide a ferry port for rail passengers to South Wales. The pier is 312 m (1,024 ft) long and consists of eight spans supported by steel rails covered by wooden decking, with a pavilion on the pier head. The pier opened in 1869 and served as an embarkation point for paddle steamer excursions for almost 100 years. Two of the spans collapsed during stress testing in 1970 and demolition was proposed, but local fund raising and heritage grants allowed the pier to be dismantled for restoration and reassembled. It reopened in 1989, and ten years later was awarded the Pier of the Year from the National Piers Society, and a Civic Trust Award. The pier now offers a landing stage for steamers and is a popular attraction for tourists and anglers. (en)
  • La jetée de Clevedon (Clevedon Pier ) est une jetée située sur la plage de Clevedon, dans le comté du Somerset (district du North Somerset) en Angleterre. Dessinée par Hans Price et construite en 1860 par John William Grover et Richard Ward, elle est constituée d'un pont en bois supporté par huit arceaux en acier, sur lequel repose à son extrémité un petit pavillon carré en verrière. Elle fait 310 m de long, 5 m de large et 4,30 m de hauteur. Elle a été ouverte au public en 1869. Elle est avec la jetée ouest (West Pier) de Brighton (aujourd'hui entièrement détruite) l'une des deux jetées « piers » classées monument historique (Grade one listed) en Grande-Bretagne. (fr)
