Welcome to Pier Bae Colwyn
What We Do.
WELCOME
Construction on the new Pier at Colwyn Bay commenced in July 2020. Despite being initially slated for completion in the summer, the erection of scaffolding and subsequent work on the 45-meter truncated Colwyn Bay pier were delayed. However, the project timeline was expedited, and the construction was successfully finished in July 2021.
THE VISION
Now the council has rebuilt the boardwalk, we plan to rebuild in full Colwyn Bay's Victoria Pier into a popular attraction at no extra cost to the taxpayer. Future designs will develop over time as ideas to pier content are put forward by us, and by the public,
Our plan will use as many parts of the original pier as possible that have survived. The newly transformed pier will play a major part in the regeneration of the town, beach and promenade, and be of great benefit to the area’s economy.
Would you like to share your memories of the Pier?
The story of Victoria Pier Colwyn Bay is going to be the subject of an ITV Wales documentary - “Vanished Wales”.
Colwyn Bay Pier Trust would like to hear from people who have fond memories of the pier as a visitor, a member of staff, a performer or in any one associated with the Pier. Do you remember going to the pier in the old days? Do you have a relative, no longer living in Colwyn Bay, who used to spend time on the pier? Did your parents meet on the Pier?
ITV producers will be selecting several of the memory providers to be interviewed for the programme which will be filmed mid August 2023 and is anticipated to be screened in January 2024.
If you or someone you know have any special memories and would like to be part of this programme then please get in touch with Colwyn Bay Pier Trust on the following email Memories@pierbaecolwyn.org using the form below.
We will make contact with everyone who gets in touch and those stories that don’t make it into the programme will form part of another memories project the Pier Trust are preparing.
Amy Dyke one of the Directors of the Pier Trust said “ We are delighted to have been asked to be the subject of an episode in Series 3 of this popular ITV Wales programme. The Pier has been part of Colwyn Bays history and culture for over 100 years and it is vital that the heritage of Wales is recorded in this way! We are thrilled that our campaign to find a solution to extend the current truncated pier is being recognised. The deadline for filming is quite near so please contact us as soon as possible.”
The Trust are continuing to fundraise to develop new plans to present to Conwy County Borough Council and Colwyn Bay Town Council. We have also engaged consultants to assist with plans and thank the public for their continued patience and support.
