Paignton pier opened in 1879, and was designed by Victorian architect George Souden Bridgman. It is 780ft (240m) long and when it was first built had a pavilion on the end which acted as an entertainment venue. For a period the Pier was a stop-off point for paddle steamers travelling between Torquay and Brixham.

The original pier-head buildings were destroyed by fire in 1919 and it went into a period of decline. Major redevelopment began in 1980.
