Phase Two of the restoration of Queen’s Pier in Ramsey will soon be underway thanks to a grant from Manx Lottery Trust.
£50,000 has been awarded to the Queens Pier Restoration Trust from the Dormant Assets Fund.
The Victorian Pier, which opened in 1886, was built as a deep-water berth for shipping, but closed in 1991 due to a lack of funds required for its restoration.
However in 2017, after years of consulting, fundraising, and campaigning, the repair of the pier got underway with Phase One, which is now complete.
With 60 bays in total, the pier is being restored bay-by-bay - the grant will cover the costs of materials.
