Dancing At The Pier

I remember this too and many happy hours here dancing. The beautiful pier has gone and all that remains is this building. The image taken it is believed from a postcard is possibly from the late 1940s or 1950s. Callum Duff advises: “There doesn’t look like there’s any structure beyond the shore end of the pier so late 1940’s – early 1950’s is a reasonable estimate. This is a photograph of Redcar Pier Pavilion which was completely demolished in 1981 and not to be confused with The Regent Cinema, built over the entrance of Coatham Pier which is currently being re-developed.” Alan Franks tells us: “I used to go here in the mid 1950s when I lived at Redcar as a young teenager;  five Woodbines between two of us a lemonade and a glance from a girl we fancied and we went home happy.”
