I put this note on another view of it some time ago -
'When I was a social work student, I had clients who lived on this pier. They had run the cafe and lived above it until one lost the use of his legs. They were living in the steamer booking office. I tried to get them rehoused, but they had to return to their former local authority area in Wales, as they hadn't been in WSM long enough. Once I got stuck there when the sea was a bit choppy at high tide. I had to stay there for a couple of extra hours.'
I can also remember having a trip on a P&A Campbell steamer over to Barry from there, in even earlier years.
I also remember the steamer trips and many visits to the pier when in its prime, in later years ye the theatre became a bierkeller with the usual raucous evenings.
The whole restoration project is led by the RNLI who have an urgent need to reuse it as a base.
