Sightseeing
In 1894 the first New Brighton Pier was opened and for the next 70 years it provided the citizens of Christchurch with a recreational destination in the traditional British style. Along the way the pier had a “penny arcade” full of games and amusements and even a nightclub, the Shoreline, at the shore end. The pier complemented New Brighton’s role as a favourite seaside outing and, for many years. The original pier was built of wood. Original grand designs were for the pier to be 600ft long with a 100ft octagon at the end. To celebrate the tenth anniversary of the opening of the New Brighton Pier on 21 June 2007 the structure is permanent lit and well worth a visit day or night.
