History

The grade II listed pier was built in 1844 by the Gravesend Freehold Investment Company. Designed by architect John Baldry Redman the building cost was £9,200. On 7 March 1865 Princess Alexandra disembarked here when she arrived to marry the Prince of Wales (later Edward VII).[1]

The Royal Terrace Pier Estate Company Limited was incorporated 29 June 1893 and dissolved 5 December 2012.[2]
