Description
Smeaton’s Pier is an iconic symbol of St Ives. It must have been painted and photographed more than almost any other pier in the UK.
The three arches were added to the landward end of the pier towards the end of the 1800s to allow the passage of sand out of the harbour and prevent silting. Since those days priorities have changed and the sand is seen as a positive. Hence the addition of timber baulks to prevent the outflow.
