Remains of the Merrion Promenade Pier and Baths

Remains of the Merrion Promenade Pier and Baths
Dublin, Ireland (IE)
The Merrion Promenade Pier and Baths Co built Sandymount swimming baths in 1883. The baths measured approximately 40 by 40 meters, with a 75-meter pier added in 1884. The pier featured a bandstand half way along it and summer concerts were regularly held there for many years. By 1920, the pier had deteriorated so much that it had to be demolished. The concrete baths section, which resembles a small harbor, remains.
